Ron & GM fall to Ego Crushers in 128.30-95.95 rout

There's no sugarcoating it, Ron & GM underdelivered, at least according to projections, as Ego Crushers rolled to a 128.30-95.95 victory. Ron & GM leapt out to a 29.25-point lead on Thursday behind 28.65 points from Aaron Rodgers (203 Pass Yds, 1 Pass TD) and Allen Robinson II (7 Rec, 102 Rec Yds). But it was all Ego Crushers after that. They were led by Deshaun Watson, who passed for 268 yards , ran for 40 yards and scored 4 touchdowns for 34.4 points, and Dalvin Cook, who ran for 111 yards and 2 touchdowns (25 points). Ego Crushers (1-0) will look to add to their success against Firefighters, while Ron & GM (0-1) will attempt to get their first victory against 7.

Coach Talk

Ego Crushers
Hey, this sport is all about creating mismatches, right? Fueled by a solid performance by Deshaun Watson, we doubled up Ron & GM at the quarterback position this past week (34.4 points to 14.95). Watson went 20-for-30 for 268 yards, three TDs, and an INT in a 30-28 loss to the Saints.
Ron & GM
Unless Ron & GM wants to go full diva-mode, then "not seeing many opportunities" is not a valid excuse this week. Our pass-catching corps (two WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 31 times in Week 1. Those players should participate in some additional timing drills with their QBs, considering they pulled down just 19 balls.
