Coach Talk

Scott's Team
Getting the win is most important, Scott's Team, but we certainly know of one spot where we can improve as a team. Our starting QB was clearly overmatched by the opposition. Patrick Mahomes went 37-of-49 for 462 yards and three touchdowns for Go Borderline, and all Matt Ryan could put up was a 22-for-39 day, with 185 yards and two passing TDs (plus an ugly interception). Let's bounce back with a big statement in Week 13!
Go Borderline
Talk about old-school ground n' pound. The starting RBs for Go Borderline collectively saw literally zero targets in the passing game this past week. Tell those offensive coordinators to draw up a couple of screen plays in Week 13!
