Coach Talk

Redlegs
You know, football is all about exploiting the mismatches. Thanks to an awesome showing from Philip Rivers, we royally dominated Negligent Discharges at the quarterback position this past week (33.25 points to 12.5). Rivers went 25-for-34 for 333 yards, three TDs, and an INT in a 30-24 triumph over the Colts.
Negligent Discharges
Zero touchdowns and an interception for Ben Roethlisberger against the Patriots this week. Zero wins and one loss for Negligent Discharges on the 2019 season. Now, normally I'm pretty old-school when it comes to all these fancy numbers and stuff... but the internal analytics folks keep telling me that this is the kind of coincidence we should try to be avoiding.
