R0MPER*ST0MPERS fall to Flying Squirrels in 141.66-106.66 rout

R0MPER*ST0MPERS failed to bring their A game, falling short of projections, as Flying Squirrels cruised to a 141.66-106.66 win. There wasn't much drama in the matchup, as Flying Squirrels leapt out to a 60.1-point lead early Sunday afternoon behind outstanding efforts from the New England Patriots defense (37 points) and Tom Brady (24.66). Dak Prescott (269 Pass Yds, 3 Pass TDs, 69 Rush Yds) and Le'Veon Bell (68 Rush Yds, 61 Rec Yds) led the way for R0MPER*ST0MPERS in defeat. Flying Squirrels (2-0) will look to keep it rolling against amy's Amazing Team, while R0MPER*ST0MPERS (0-2) take on Rollin’ with Mahomes in an effort to get their first victory.

Coach Talk

Flying Squirrels
Hey, it's good to be confident, Flying Squirrels. Deploying a starter with zero points (David Njoku), while still getting the win... that's a bit too risky for us traditionalists. All we ask is to please keep that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the early regular season. Can you imagine how silly we'd look if we let it happen in the playoffs?
R0MPER*ST0MPERS
Unless R0MPER*ST0MPERS wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not seeing many looks" won't cut it as an excuse this time around. As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) combined to get a whopping 22 targets in Week 2. Chemistry seems to be the primary issue, as that group pulled down only 13 receptions.
