Coach Talk

Los Pollos Hermanos
Hey, we'll definitely take the win, Los Pollos Hermanos! Having said that, if we want to take our performance to the next level, then here's one area where we can improve; our quarterbacks were thoroughly overmatched this past week. Our two signal-callers combined for just 25.7 points in Week 1, while the QBs for House stark doubled us up with a score of 54.1. Let's put some extra effort into scouting those upcoming defenses!
House stark
Look, House stark, we've been in this industry long enough to know that sometimes three extra points will just magically appear out of the blue... and then in some cases, like this week, they won't! The coaching staff here is proud of you, the most important thing here is that you gave it your best shot.
