Coach Talk

Dawgman
This sport is all about creating mismatches. Our team took that to heart this past week and thoroughly outscored Square357 at the quarterback position (67 points to 9).
Square357
Our quarterback tossed one interception and literally zero touchdowns? Maybe we should go back and review the game tape: Was Andy Dalton actually that out-of-sync with the receivers, or was the Steelers secondary just that stout defending the pass? What do you think, Square357... should we continue rolling with him?
