Coach Talk

Gnaperville Gnus
You know, football is all about exploiting the mismatches. Thanks to a sound display from Aaron Rodgers, we royally dominated Throw up the X at the quarterback position this past week (38 points to 15). Rodgers went 21-for-33 for 243 yards and four TDs in a 31-13 victory over the Giants.
Throw up the X
Well, we can't really whine about a shortage of opportunities this time, can we? Our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) were targeted a respectable 21 times in Week 13. With just 13 total catches, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
