Coach Talk

Mario's Team
Well, we do appreciate the confidence this past week, Mario's Team. It takes real moxie to play not one, not two, but FOUR starters with zero points while still getting a win. All we ask is to please keep that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the early regular season. Try it when the playoffs roll around, and we'll be finished.
CROWN ME #1
Unless CROWN ME #1 wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not seeing enough looks" doesn't fly as an excuse this time around. Our five pass-catchers (four WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 30 times in Week 4. Chemistry could be an issue, as that group recorded just 15 receptions.
