Coach Talk

Whatdeysay
A big key to success in football is creating mismatches. Fueled by a thrilling outing by Josh Allen, we royally dominated Gridiron Gang at the quarterback position this past week (35.05 points to 5.51). Allen had his way against the 49ers defense, going 32-of-40 for 375 yards and four passing TDs.
Gridiron Gang
Ugh, talk about old-school ground n' pound: The starting RBs for Gridiron Gang collectively registered one catch on just two measly targets this past week. Tell those offensive coordinators to dial up a couple of screen plays in Week 14!
