Coach Talk

5Fingers2YoFace
You know what, 5Fingers2YoFace, we do respect the confidence. It takes a certain kind of moxie to play a starter with zero points (Jason Sanders), while still getting the win! All we ask is to please keep those flashy shenanigans to the regular season. Do it when the playoffs roll around, and we're done.
No Mercy
Welp, we can't really gripe about a shortage of opportunities this time, can we? As a group, our pass-catching corps (five WR and one TE) collectively got a grand total of 42 targets in Week 7. With just 23 total receptions, that group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
