Coach Talk

Vandals
Identifying mismatches is a huge component to winning in football. Thanks to an awesome outing by Patrick Mahomes, we thoroughly outplayed GreatPlainsDrifters at the quarterback position this past week (50.3 points to 4.55). Mahomes was impeccable in a blowout victory over the Raiders, going 35-of-50 for 406 yards and five passing TDs.
GreatPlainsDrifters
Your quarterback threw four interceptions and no touchdowns? We might need to go back and review the game tape: Was Mike White really that sloppy from the pocket, or was the Bills secondary just that good defending the pass? What do you think, GreatPlainsDrifters, do we continue to start him with confidence?
