Coach Talk

Frank Da Tank
Hey, the key to football is exploiting the mismatches. Fueled by an awesome performance by Drew Brees, we thoroughly outplayed Gang Green at the quarterback position this past week (84.75 points to 30.85). Brees lit the 49ers defense up by recording 349 yards and five passing touchdowns.
Gang Green
Look, Gang Green, we've been in this industry long enough to realize that sometimes points can just randomly appear out of nowhere. Then in some cases (*cough cough*, Week 14) they don't! Okay, okay... perhaps asking for an additional 65 points is a bit on the excessive side.
