Coach Talk

What The Shit
Hey, football is all about creating mismatches, right? Thanks to a solid display from Matt Ryan, we doubled up The mystery machine at the quarterback position this past week (19.1 points to 8.28). Ryan went 25-for-39 for 210 yards and two TDs (plus no INTs) in a 29-22 win over the 49ers.
The mystery machine
Hey, it's possible that The mystery machine might be a better GM in the NFL than in fantasy football. With only four total targets this past week, their four starting pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) apparently made most of their contributions by running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
