Coach Talk

98 DarkPink Balloons
Bravo, 98 DarkPink Balloons. Deploying a starting crew that recorded over 115 points this past matchup... we'll keep this momentum rolling as we move on to our Week 6 matchup.
Cant Touch This
Unless Cant Touch This wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not seeing enough opportunities" is definitely not a viable excuse this week. Our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 20 times in Week 5. Chemistry could be an issue, as that group recorded just 11 catches.
