Coach Talk

King of the NORTH
Creating mismatches is a huge key to success in football. Thanks to an awesome display from Patrick Mahomes, we thoroughly outplayed TheGuiseIsLoose! at the quarterback position this past week (49.98 points to 9.33). Mahomes orchestrated a big win over the Ravens, hitting 31 of 42 passes for 385 yards and four touchdowns.
TheGuiseIsLoose!
Unless TheGuiseIsLoose! wants to go full diva-mode, then "not seeing many chances" is not an excuse this week. Our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) collectively received a whopping 22 targets in Week 3. Chemistry and timing seem to be issues as that group hauled in just 13 receptions.
