Coach Talk

Crazy Dogs
Sure, we ultimately got the win, but there's not really any other way to put it, Crazy Dogs. Our wide receivers were utterly outplayed this past week. Keenan Allen (40 total yards, no TDs) and Chris Godwin (61 yards, no TDs) combined for only 10 points in Week 9. For HowAboutCowboys, Emmanuel Sanders and Tyreek Hill almost quadrupled us with a score of 38. Let's persuade the offensive coordinator to get some more targets in Week 10!
HowAboutCowboys
Ugh, talk about under-utilized. The starting backfield for HowAboutCowboys collectively registered one catch on just two targets this past week. Get those quarterbacks to dump it down a little more often in Week 10!
