Coach Talk

Baker's Dozen
Hey, finding mismatches is the key to football, right? We really took that to heart this week by thoroughly dominating Let's Go Big Red!!!! at the wide receiver position (36 points to 4.5).
Let's Go Big Red!!!!
Sheesh, this close defeat can be placed more on the Packers coaching staff than on the quarterback. This week's game script required the QB to attempt just 18 passes, and Aaron Rodgers did his part... finding his target on an outstanding 78 percent of them!
