Coach Talk

Maximum Tryhard
A big key to success in football is exploiting the mismatches. Thanks to a solid performance by Carson Wentz, we doubled up EagleTalin's at the quarterback position this past week (30.4 points to 13.32). Wentz went 28-for-46 for 310 yards, three TDs, and an INT in a 37-31 loss to the Dolphins.
EagleTalin's
Here's a list of scenarios where it's excusable to go 0-for-2 in sports: A double-fault in tennis, a hitter's line in baseball, and the Jazz facing MJ's Bulls in the Finals. That's just about it. Going 0-for-2 on field goal attempts this past week? Seems like Brett Maher might have just kicked himself back into the free agent pool after this effort... especially since EagleTalin's needed every point they could possibly get in this narrow matchup.
