Coach Talk

Wicked Clowns
You know Wicked Clowns, the good news is that we took this matchup by over two points. The *even better* news is that we've proven we're stronger than this, as our scoring average through Week 4 stood at 134.69. So yes, we're happy to have earned this victory, but let's also "regress" back up to where we know we can be!
GroundNPound
Unless GroundNPound wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not getting enough looks" is definitely not an excuse this week. As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) collectively got a healthy 30 targets in Week 5. With just 18 total receptions, this group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
