Coach Talk

Demaryius Targaryen
Hey Demaryius Targaryen, the good news is that we won this matchup by a staggering 33.74 points. The *even better* news is that we've proven we're better than this... as a matter of fact, our team's scoring average through eight weeks was 136.09. So while we're happy to have earned this victory, let's "regress" back up to where we know we can be!
The Probing Muellers
Well, we can't really complain about a lack of opportunities this week, can we? As a group, our pass-catching corps (two WR and one TE) collectively received a grand total of 20 targets in Week 9. With only 10 total receptions, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
