Coach Talk

Chicken Dinner
Getting the win is most important, Chicken Dinner, but we certainly know of one spot where we should get better as a team. Our QB was thoroughly outmatched by the opposition. Baker Mayfield went 17-of-20 for 216 yards and three touchdowns for majicman's Team, and all Tom Brady could manage through the air was 254 passing yards. Let's spend some extra time this week working with our receivers!
majicman's Team
Hey, majicman's Team, did your pass-catchers talk bad about their quarterbacks or something? Accumulating only 14 total targets this past week, our starting receiver crew (three WR, one TE) clearly got on the bad side of their respective QBs.
