Coach Talk

Osaka Blues
Listen Osaka Blues, we're glass-half-full kind of coaches. While some may harp on the fact that our scoring's slipped lately, we'll choose to take the high road. Averaging 121.33 points through Week 8, our crew has shown it's certainly capable of outproducing the 103.75 we needed to win this past week!
absolutereckless
Welp, we certainly can't complain about a shortage of opportunities this time, can we? As a group, our trio of pass-catchers (two WR and one TE) were targeted a respectable 18 times in Week 9. With only nine total receptions, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
