Coach Talk

PIERMONSTERS
Sure, we ultimately got the win, but there's really no way sugarcoat it, PIERMONSTERS. Our starting running backs were soundly outclassed by the opposition. Buoyed by Wayne Gallman Jr. (14 yards from scrimmage, no TDs) and Derrick Henry (78 yards, one TD), our three RBs combined for only 32.25 points in Week 5, and the starting backfield for Bitterness nearly tripled us up with a score of 90.8. Let's bounce back with a big statement in Week 6!
Bitterness
Normally, missing a field goal isn't any reason to worry. Having said that, Jason Myers went 1-for-2 on FGs instead of 2-for-2, and Bitterness lost the matchup by 4.2 points. Talk about impeccable timing...
