Coach Talk

The war on terror
Hey, the key to football is exploiting the mismatches. We really took that to heart this week by doubling up Multiple Scoregasms at the wide receiver position (62.8 points to 25.9).
Multiple Scoregasms
Zero touchdowns and an interception for Trey Lance against the Bears this week. Zero wins and one loss for Multiple Scoregasms on the 2022 season. Normally I'm pretty old-school when it comes to all this fancy "analytics" mumbo-jumbo... but our in-house number gurus keep telling me that this is the kind of "correlation" we should try to be avoiding.
