Coach Talk

Havoc
Deploying a lineup that netted almost 167 points this past week... we consider that to be a job well done. We should keep this momentum rolling as we step into our Week 9 matchup.
Nightmares
Unless Nightmares wants to go full diva-mode, then "not seeing many looks" can't be an excuse this time around. As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR and two TE) were targeted a grand total of 44 times in Week 8. Chemistry could be an issue, as that group hauled in just 21 balls.
