Coach Talk

Badnews Bears
Hey, the key to football is exploiting the mismatches, right? Fueled by stellar numbers from our pass-catchers, our team really took that to heart this past week. We thoroughly dominated william's Superb Team at wide receiver (43.4 points to 17.2). Jaylen Waddle had 171 receiving yards and two TDs while Brandon Aiyuk chipped in with 63 yards.
william's Superb Team
Well, we certainly can't whine about a lack of opportunities this time, can we? Our pass-catching corps (two WR, one TE) were targeted a respectable 26 times in Week 2. With only 16 total catches, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
