Coach Talk

Lucky Enuf
You know Lucky Enuf, the good news is that we won this matchup by more than 32 points. The *even better* news is that we've proven we're better than this, as our scoring average through seven weeks was 143.17. So while we're happy to have earned this victory, let's get back up to where we know we can be!
DominationStation
Unless DominationStation wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not seeing enough looks" is not an excuse this time around. As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR and two TE) were targeted a grand total of 31 times in Week 8. Those players might need to hit the practice field, considering they hauled in only 17 balls.
