Coach Talk

Naked Bootlegs
Putting together a lineup that won by over 14 points this past week... we deem that to be a job well done. We should tip our cap to the GM of Bitterness, take this win in stride, and continue on our way towards the Motor City Football league title.
Bitterness
Zero touchdowns and an interception for Mitchell Trubisky against the Packers this week. Zero wins and one loss for Bitterness on the 2019 season. I'm usually pretty old-school when it comes to all this fancy "analytics" mumbo-jumbo... but our in-house number gurus keep telling me that this is the sort of "correlation" we should try to be avoiding.
