Coach Talk

The Dogs of War
Well done, The Dogs of War. Deploying a lineup that won by 21.7 points this past week. We should maintain this momentum as we move on to what ought to be a winnable matchup in Week 2.
Dirty Hippies
Welp, we certainly can't gripe about a shortage of opportunities this week, can we? Our five pass-catchers (three WR and two TE) were targeted a hearty 26 times in Week 1. Chemistry and timing appear to be issues as that group notched only 16 catches.
