Coach Talk

TB12
You know TB12, I'm a "glass half full" kind of coach. While some may harp on the fact that our scoring output has declined a bit lately, I'll choose to spin this in a positive direction. Averaging 124.81 points through Week 5, our crew has obviously proven that it's even better than the 99.92 we needed to win this past week!
Chubby chasers
With three catches on only four targets this past week, the starting RBs for Chubby chasers obviously should investigate why their quarterbacks are giving them the cold shoulder.
