Coach Talk

LUCKY DOG 2.0
Hey now LUCKY DOG 2.0, that's what we're talkin' about! A completion percentage of 81% this past go round for Mr. Precision... Uh, sorry, I mean Aaron Rodgers. That 49ers secondary didn't stand a chance! We know the GM of LUCKY DOG 2.0 has got to be grateful for the precision and attention to detail.
deepball
Your starting QB tossed three interceptions and no touchdowns? I suppose we're presented with a couple of options here. Were the Saints actually that great defending the pass, or did Tom Brady appear shaky back there in the pocket? This is the sort of judgment you'll need to make... deepball, as you manage your lineup for Week 10 and beyond!
