Coach Talk

Bills Mafia
You know, the key to football is exploiting the mismatches. Thanks to some monster yardage production from our running backs, our team created a big disparity this week. Our backfield logged 126 more yards from scrimmage than the RBs on Death From Above (262 total yards to 136), as we ultimately tripled them at the position, 50.66 points to 14.6.
Death From Above
Well, we can't really gripe about a lack of opportunities this time, can we? Our pass-catching corps (four WR and one TE) were targeted a healthy 38 times in Week 8. Chemistry could be the primary problem, as that group managed only 22 receptions.
