Coach Talk

Beer Pressure
Getting the win is most important, Beer Pressure, but we've also identified one spot where we can improve as a team... our starting wide receivers were severely outplayed this past week. Tyreek Hill (16 total yards, no TDs) and Robert Woods (70 yards, no TDs) combined for just 10.7 points in Week 1. For Easy Mode, Chris Godwin and Keenan Allen almost tripled us up with a score of 30.6. Let's bug the QB to get some more targets in Week 2!
Easy Mode
Keep your head held high, Easy Mode! You can take solace in the fact that your kindness this week did not go unnoticed. It was generous of you to help someone like Beer Pressure succeed... and perhaps one day, they can return the favor by going Kicker-Defense in the first two rounds of next year's draft (...something like that).
