Coach Talk

Earl's Glorious Team
Deploying a starting crew that produced almost 143 points this past week... we consider that to be a job well done. Let's maintain this momentum as we move on to what ought to be a winnable Week 10 matchup.
Ryan Farris's Team
Unless Ryan Farris's Team wants to go full diva-mode, then "not getting many looks" doesn't fly as an excuse this week. Our trio of pass-catchers (two WR and one TE) collectively received a grand total of 34 targets in Week 9. With only 20 total receptions, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
