Arlan's Army come up short of predictions, lose to Chard's Goat Herders in 134.61-96.79 beatdown

Coach Talk

Chard's Goat Herders
Spotting mismatches is a big component to winning in football. Thanks to a sound display by Justin Herbert, we tripled Arlan's Army at the quarterback position this past week (27.31 points to 7.85). Herbert went 22-for-38 for 236 yards, two TDs, and an INT in a 34-28 loss to the Chiefs.
Arlan's Army
Unless Arlan's Army wants to go full diva-mode, then "not getting many chances" is definitely not an excuse this week. Our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) were targeted a hearty 31 times in Week 15. Chemistry appears to be the primary problem, as that group managed only 19 receptions.
