Coach Talk

The Commodores
You know The Commodores, I'm a "glass half full" kind of coach. While others may harp on the fact that our scoring output has slipped lately, I'll choose to spin this in a positive direction. Averaging 81.08 points through Week 5, our crew has shown it's more than capable of outproducing the 75.95 we needed to win this past week!
ghost to the post
Normally, a single missed field goal isn't any real cause for concern, but talk about impeccable timing: Ka'imi Fairbairn went 1-for-2 on FGs instead of 2-for-2, and ghost to the post dropped the matchup by 0.38 points. We'll let you do the math on that one.
