Coach Talk

I ate my helmet
Hey, the key to football is exploiting the mismatches, right? Thanks to some stellar yardage production from our ball-carriers, our team really made that happen this week. Our backfield recorded 80 more total yards than the RBs of c beams/sugarbear (270 yards from scrimmage to 190), and we wound up doubling up them at the position, 57 points to 26.

Listen, c beams/sugarbear, we've been in this industry long enough to realize that sometimes points just seem to randomly appear out of the blue. Then sometimes, like in your case this week, they don't! Hmmm, alright... maybe asking for an extra 26 points is a bit overzealous.
