Coach Talk

Wicked Clowns
Hey Wicked Clowns, the good news is that we took this matchup by over 21 points. The *even better* news is that we've proven we're better than this, as our scoring average through Week 7 stood at 138.54. So while we're happy to have gotten this victory, let's get back up to where we know we can be!
Bad Company $
Well, we certainly can't complain about a shortage of opportunities this week, can we? As a group, our pass-catching corps (four WR, one TE) were targeted a grand total of 31 times in Week 8. With only 19 total receptions, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
