Coach Talk

Pantheon Hulks
You know, football is all about spotting the mismatches. Thanks to a solid display from Tom Brady, we nearly tripled Short Bus Ryderz at the quarterback position this past week (29.4 points to 10.32). Brady went 34-for-50 for 410 yards, three TDs, and an INT in a four-point win over the Jets.
Short Bus Ryderz
Wait, our starting QB threw three interceptions and just one touchdown? We may have quite a dilemma on our hands here. Was Trevor Lawrence actually that sloppy from the pocket, or were the Patriots just that good against the pass?
