Coach Talk

Planet united
Hey, we admire the confidence, Planet united. Deploying a player with zero points (Devonta Freeman), while still earning the win... talk about arrogant. We just ask you to please keep those flashy shenanigans to the early regular season. Do it when the postseason rolls around, and we'll be done.
Iz Čikaga moji...
Zero touchdowns and an interception for Ben Roethlisberger against the Patriots this week. Zero wins and one loss for Iz Čikaga moji... on the 2019 season. Normally I'm pretty old-school when it comes to all this fancy "analytics" mumbo-jumbo... but our in-house bean counters keep pestering me, saying that this is the sort of "correlation" we should try to be avoiding.
