Coach Talk

StrangerDanger
Sure, we ultimately got the win, but there's not really any other way for us to spin this, StrangerDanger. Our wide receivers were utterly outmatched by the opposition. Deebo Samuel (44 total yards, no TDs) and Marquise Brown (49 yards, no TDs) combined for just 11.8 points in Week 3. For The Corporate Clowns, Tyrell Williams and Mike Evans literally quadrupled us with a score of 51.4. We need to put some extra effort into scouting those upcoming defenses!
The Corporate Clowns
One touchdown and two interceptions for Jimmy Garoppolo against the Steelers this week. One win and two losses for The Corporate Clowns on the 2019 season. I'm usually pretty old-school when it comes to these fancy numbers... but my analytics folks are telling me they're not thrilled about this matching 2-to-1 INT-to-TD, Loss-to-Win ratio!
