Coach Talk

Grid Iron Man
Sure, we ultimately got the win, but we can't deny it, Grid Iron Man. Our starting QB was severely outmatched by the opposition. Patrick Mahomes went 30-of-39 for 360 yards and five touchdowns for Far From Ma”Home”s, and all Russell Wilson could muster was a 29-for-42 outing, with 340 yards and one passing TD. We need to put some more effort into scouting those upcoming defenses!
Far From Ma”Home”s
"Not getting many looks" really isn't an excuse this week for Far From Ma”Home”s. Our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) collectively got a grand total of 29 targets in Week 1. With only 13 total receptions, this group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
