Coach Talk

Dee's Wonderful Team
Who really cares if you ultimately took a step back in the standings this past week... the important take-away here is that your squad got the W. Remain laser-focused week-to-week and the results are sure to follow.
Lannister
Unless Lannister wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not seeing enough chances" won't cut it as an excuse this time around. Our pass-catching corps (four WR and one TE) collectively got a respectable 38 targets in Week 2. With only 21 total catches, this group may have some chemistry issues.
