Coach Talk

NE Patriots
Well, we do admire the confidence this past week, NE Patriots. Deploying a player with zero points (Anthony Miller), while still earning a win... that's borderline cocky. All we ask is to please keep that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the early regular season. Try it in the postseason and we're done.
Seattle Seahawks
Welp, we can't really complain about a shortage of opportunities this week, can we? Our seven pass-catchers (five WR and two TE) were targeted a grand total of 40 times in Week 4. Chemistry and timing appear to be issues as that group notched only 20 catches.
