Coach Talk

Uain't1stULast
Sure, we ultimately got the win, but we can't deny it, Uain't1stULast... our QB was severely overmatched this past week. Our one guys under center combined for only 27 points in Week 15, and the QBs for Rookie Mistakes doubled us up with a score of 57.
Rookie Mistakes
Look, Rookie Mistakes, I've been in this industry long enough to realize that sometimes points can just magically show up out of nowhere. Then in some cases (like this week) they don't! Hmmm, alright... asking for an additional 24 points may be a little excessive.
