Coach Talk

ExigentCircumstances
Sure, we ultimately got the win, but we can't deny it, ExigentCircumstances... our QB was thoroughly outclassed by the opposition. Jimmy Garoppolo went 28-of-37 for 317 yards and four touchdowns for Blue Falcons, and all Aaron Rodgers could produce was a 23-for-35 outing, with 161 yards and one passing TD. We need to put some extra effort into scouting those upcoming defenses!
Blue Falcons
Welp, we can't really whine about a shortage of opportunities this week, can we? As a group, our pass-catching corps (four WR and one TE) combined to get a grand total of 39 targets in Week 9. Chemistry appears to be the primary issue, as that group reeled in just 23 balls.
