Coach Talk

Doc's Devils
Sure, we ultimately earned the win, but we can't deny it, Doc's Devils. Our quarterbacks were utterly outmatched by the opposition. Our two men under center combined for just 14.75 points in Week 1, while the QBs for The Overkiller's nearly tripled us up with a score of 42.1. Let's put some more effort into studying those playbooks!
The Overkiller's
Zero touchdowns and an interception for Baker Mayfield against the Chiefs this week. Zero wins and one loss for The Overkiller's on the 2021 season. I'm usually pretty old-school when it comes to all this fancy "analytics" mumbo-jumbo... but our in-house bean counters keep telling me that this is the sort of coincidence we should try to be avoiding.
