Coach Talk

Steel Reign
Getting the win is most important, Steel Reign, but we definitely know of one spot where we should get better as a team. Our quarterback was severely outplayed this past week. Matthew Stafford went 23-of-30 for 287 yards and three touchdowns for Rebel Alliance, and all Matt Ryan could manage through the air was 190 yards and one passing TD.
Rebel Alliance
Do your best take solace in the fact that your generosity this week didn't go unnoticed. It takes a real kindred spirit to help someone like Steel Reign succeed... and when the time comes, perhaps they can return the favor and do you a solid. Keep your head up, Rebel Alliance!
