Coach Talk

No Limit Bowler
Hey, creating mismatches is the key to football, right? Thanks to a solid display by Josh Allen, we royally dominated T’s Bags at the quarterback position this past week (35.48 points to 5.46). Allen went 26-for-31 for 297 yards, three TDs, and two INTs in a 31-10 triumph over the Rams.
T’s Bags
Zero touchdowns and an interception for Dak Prescott against the Buccaneers this week. Zero wins and one loss for T’s Bags on the 2022 season. I'm usually pretty old-school when it comes to all these fancy numbers and stuff... but the in-house analytics folks keep telling me that this is the sort of coincidence we should try to be avoiding.
