Coach Talk

Big Dawgs
Identifying mismatches is a big key to success in football. Fueled by a thrilling performance by Patrick Mahomes, we nearly tripled White Russian at the quarterback position this past week (30.88 points to 10.44). Mahomes went 30-for-45 for 372 yards and four TDs in a 33-31 win over the Panthers.
White Russian
One touchdown and two interceptions for Matthew Stafford against the Vikings this week. Three wins and six losses for White Russian on the 2020 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!
