Coach Talk

Vultures
The key to success in football is creating mismatches. Fueled by an awesome performance from Josh Allen, we doubled up Mutinous Apes at the quarterback position this past week (48.8 points to 21.6). Allen lit the Football Team defense up to the tune of 358 yards and four passing touchdowns.
Mutinous Apes
Chin up, Mutinous Apes! Look, we've been in this business long enough to realize that sometimes seven extra points can just miraculously appear out of thin air... and then in some cases, like this week, they don't! Keep chipping away and good things will eventually happen.
