Coach Talk

sharpzyg
Sure, we ultimately got the win, but we can't deny it, sharpzyg. Our starting quarterback was significantly overmatched by the opposition. Carson Wentz went 27-of-39 for 306 yards and two touchdowns for litswd's Team, and all Matt Ryan could manage was a 16-for-26 outing, with 131 yards and one passing TD. We need to put some extra effort into studying those playbooks!
litswd's Team
litswd's Team will find it tough to gripe about lack of opportunities this past week. Our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) were targeted a grand total of 40 times in Week 13. With just 23 total receptions, this group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
