Coach Talk

Eli Manning Sucks
Two wide receivers, one running back, one tight end, zero touchdowns: The four offensive skill starters on Eli Manning Sucks combined to register a healthy 297 yards from scrimmage. No one from that group was able to find paydirt in Week 6.
Wildebeasts
Only three makes on five field goal attempts? Seems like Joey Slye should reevaluate his pre-kick process after that sort of performance... especially with Wildebeasts needing every point they could possibly get in this narrow matchup.
