El Jefe succumb to GaryVader, 124.20-76.22

There's no easy way to put it, El Jefe didn't do their job, at least according to projections, as GaryVader came out on top with a 124.20-76.22 victory. GaryVader leapt out to a 44.40-point lead on Thursday behind a combined 44.4 points from Amari Cooper (13 Rec, 139 Rec Yds, 2 Rec TDs) and Greg Zuerlein (3-5 FG, 48 long, 2-3 XP) and never looked back. Dalvin Cook (17.4 points) and Keenan Allen (14.5) were the leaders for El Jefe in the loss. GaryVader (1-0) will look to keep it rolling against 9RYNR, while El Jefe (0-1) attempt to get some positive momentum against L-Ville Diner Rolls.

Coach Talk

GaryVader
Just three makes on five field goal attempts? It's quite possible that Greg Zuerlein just kicked himself to the waiver wire after this performance.
El Jefe
Our quarterback threw two interceptions and not a single touchdown? Maybe we should go back and review the game tape. Were the Saints genuinely that stout against the pass, or was Aaron Rodgers just that sloppy from the pocket? What do you think? Do we keep rolling with him as the starting QB of El Jefe?
