Coach Talk

Dexter
Identifying mismatches is a huge component to winning in football. Thanks to a sound display from Josh Allen, we tripled duckman's Quality Team at the quarterback position this past week (24.52 points to 7.76). Allen went 19-for-36 for 213 yards, one TD, and an INT in a 23-20 triumph over the Ravens.
duckman's Quality Team
Your quarterback tossed an interception and not a single touchdown? We might need to play Monday-morning quarterback here. Was Matthew Stafford actually that sloppy from the pocket, or were the 49ers just that great defending the pass? What do you think? Do we keep rolling with him as the starting QB of duckman's Quality Team?
