Coach Talk

Georgiana
Hey, creating mismatches is the key to football, right? Fueled by some monster yardage production from our ball-carriers, our team created a noticeable disparity this week. Our backfield logged 111 more total yards than the RBs of NoPuntIntended (226 yards from scrimmage to 115), and we wound up tripling them at the position, 41.6 points to 13.5.
NoPuntIntended
Zero touchdowns and an interception for Aaron Rodgers against the Vikings this week. Zero wins and one loss for NoPuntIntended on the 2022 season. Now, usually I'm pretty old-fashioned when it comes to all this fancy "analytics" mumbo-jumbo... but our in-house bean counters keep hitting me up, saying that this is the kind of coincidence we'd like to avoid.
