Coach Talk

BuffaloKids187!!!
Hey, this sport is all about creating mismatches, right? We not only dominated SMOKES TEAM 💀 at WR (58.3 points to 21.8), we also almost tripled them at QB (33.48 points to 11.38).
SMOKES TEAM 💀
Well, we certainly can't complain about a lack of opportunities this week, can we? Our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) were targeted a grand total of 21 times in Week 1. Chemistry and timing seem to be issues as that group recorded just eight receptions.
