Coach Talk

🏈Gridiron & Wine 🍷
Sure, we ultimately got the win, but we can't deny it, 🏈Gridiron & Wine 🍷; our wide receivers were severely outplayed this past week. Jarvis Landry (55 yards from scrimmage, no TDs) logged just 29.2 points in Week 16. The starting wideouts for Maxdeflation doubled us up with a score of 61.9.
Maxdeflation
Just one make on three field goal attempts? Sounds like Matt Prater might have just kicked himself back into the free agent pool after this performance.
