Coach Talk

Fat Boy 316
Bravo, Fat Boy 316. Good work assembling a team that earned 157.64 points this past matchup. We should keep this momentum going as we roll into what will surely be a challenging matchup in Week 2.
J-Law's Proballers
Unless J-Law's Proballers wants to go full diva-mode, then "not seeing enough looks" is definitely not an excuse this time around. Our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) were targeted a grand total of 31 times in Week 1. With only 19 total catches, that group may have some chemistry issues.
