Coach Talk

Lucky Enuf
Hey, we'll definitely take the win, Lucky Enuf! Having said that, if we want to ramp our performance up to the next level, then here's one area where we can improve. Our quarterback was clearly outmatched this past week. Joe Burrow went 27-of-39 for 200 yards and four touchdowns for Dirty Hippies, and all Daniel Jones could put up was a 21-for-32 day for 160 passing yards.
Dirty Hippies
Normally, a single missed field goal isn't any real cause for concern. Having said that, Greg Zuerlein went 1-for-2 on FGs instead of 2-for-2, and Dirty Hippies lost the matchup by 2.4 points. Talk about impeccable timing...
