Coach Talk

Balmain Forever
Sure, we ultimately got the win, but we can't deny it, Balmain Forever. Our QB was significantly outplayed by the opposition. Aaron Rodgers went 25-of-42 for 274 yards and zero touchdowns for The Bonnie Rottens, and all Drew Brees could manage through the air was 203 passing yards. We need to put some more effort into studying those playbooks!
The Bonnie Rottens
Whoa now, talk about old-school ground n' pound: As a group, the starting backfield for The Bonnie Rottens collectively registered four catches on just five targets this past week. Instruct those quarterbacks to check down a little more often in Week 16!
