[CBFF] Week 9 thoughts about rivals

[Victor Waldron]

TDs against us without originating from the redzone. So we are good at
defending the redzone......if we haven't already given up a TD (I'm
sure there's really more to it than that but based on observation
without the aid of stats that's is what seems to be going on).
