Coach Talk

Square357
Sure, we ultimately got the win, but we can't deny it, Square357... our quarterback was severely outplayed by the opposition. Patrick Mahomes went 31-of-42 for 385 yards and four touchdowns for DreDreDeWinner🤑, and all Matthew Stafford could manage through the air was 270 yards and two passing scores. We need to work overtime to get on the same page with our receivers this week!
DreDreDeWinner🤑
Listen, DreDreDeWinner🤑, I've been in this industry long enough to realize that sometimes points can just miraculously appear out of thin air. Then sometimes, like in your matchup this week, they don't! You know, now that I think about it... hoping for an additional 19 points may be a bit on the excessive side.
