Coach Talk

Prime Time
Hey, we'll definitely take the win, Prime Time! Having said that, if we want to ramp our performance up to the next level, then we have found an area to improve. Our QB was utterly outmatched this past week. Josh Allen went 30-of-47 for 314 yards and three touchdowns for gridiron souljas 2, and all Tom Brady could muster was an 18-for-30 day, with 232 yards and one passing TD.

Just one make on three field goal attempts? Seems like Matt Prater might be kicking himself to the waiver wire after this performance.
