Old Leather Balls come up short of predictions, succumb to Greathope4Houston, 119.08-110.96

Old Leather Balls were unable to rise to the occasion, as Greathope4Houston came from behind for a 119.08-110.96 win. Greathope4Houston trailed 110.96-77.50 heading into Sunday night, but the team roared back behind Cam Newton (397 Pass Yds, 1 Pass TD, 47 Rush Yds, 2 Rush TDs) and the Seattle Seahawks defense (30 Pts Allowed, 464 Yds Allowed, 1 Turnovers). Gardner Minshew II (339 Pass Yds, 3 Pass TDs, 19 Rush Yds) and Mitchell Trubisky (190 Pass Yds, 2 Pass TDs, 16 Rush Yds) did their part for Old Leather Balls in defeat. Greathope4Houston (2-0) will look to keep it rolling against iCuRaRook, while Old Leather Balls (1-1) try to get back in the win column against Brown Stains.

Coach Talk

Greathope4Houston
We do appreciate the confidence this past week, Greathope4Houston. Playing a starter with zero points (Greg Olsen), while still earning the W... that's borderline cocky. All we ask is to please keep that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the early regular season. Try it when the playoffs roll around, and we're finished.
Old Leather Balls
Unless Old Leather Balls wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not getting many looks" is not an excuse this time around. Our five pass-catchers (four WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 35 times in Week 2. Those players should participate in some additional timing drills with their QBs, considering they reeled in only 16 balls.
