Coach Talk

SiWins
This sport is all about creating mismatches. Thanks to a solid showing from Aaron Rodgers, we tripled Josh.0 at the quarterback position this past week (36.12 points to 11.78). Rodgers went 21-for-33 for 243 yards and four TDs in a 31-13 win over the Giants.
Josh.0
Here's a list of sports scenarios where it's excusable to go 0-for-2: A hitter's line in baseball, a pair of Shaquille O'Neal free throws, and a double-fault in tennis. That's basically it. Going 0-for-2 on field goal attempts this past week? Seems like Brett Maher might be kicking himself to the waiver wire after that sort of performance.
