Coach Talk

FF5
Hey, we'll definitely take the win, FF5! Having said that, if we want to ramp our performance up to the next level, then here's one area where we can improve: our QB was utterly outclassed this past week. Matt Ryan went 20-of-35 for 182 yards and two touchdowns for Raider4life, and all Jimmy Garoppolo could manage through the air was 248 yards and one passing TD. We need to work overtime to get on the same page with our receivers this week!
Raider4life
Well, we can't really whine about a shortage of opportunities this time, can we? Our trio of pass-catchers (two WR, one TE) collectively got a grand total of 13 targets in Week 10. Timing and chemistry appear to be issues as that group reeled in only seven catches.
