Coach Talk

Pugs
Bravo on deploying a lineup that won by more than 14 points this past week. We deem that to be a job done right. We should take this W in stride, tip our cap to the GM of FF5, and continue the march towards the Raider Nation Football League championship.
FF5
Wait, our starting QB threw three interceptions and just one touchdown? I suppose we're presented with a couple of options here: Were the Seahawks actually that strong defending the pass, or was Baker Mayfield just that inaccurate from the pocket? What do you think, FF5, do we continue to start him with confidence?
