Coach Talk

Boomkanani ◇
You know what, Boomkanani ◇, we do certainly appreciate the confidence. It's a bold move to deploy, not one, but TWO starters with zero points (Amari Cooper and Dalvin Cook), while still earning a W. Try those shenanigans next week against Steelers(43_Irish(9) and we're sure to be toast.
TheGoat50
"Not getting many chances" isn't an excuse this week for TheGoat50. Our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) were targeted a respectable 27 times in Week 6. Those players might need to hit the practice field, considering they tallied just 16 catches.
