Coach Talk

Dark Buccaneers
Hey, creating mismatches is the key to football, right? We really took that to heart this week by tripling Aither's Team at the wide receiver position (33.2 points to 9.6).
Aither's Team
Normally, missing a field goal isn't any reason to worry. Having said that, Ka'imi Fairbairn went 1-for-2 on FGs instead of 2-for-2, and Aither's Team dropped the matchup by 1.48 points. Talk about impeccable timing...
