Coach Talk

AMMODOG
Hey AMMODOG, the good news is that we won this matchup by over 14 points. The better news is that we've proven we're even better than this... as a matter of fact, our team's scoring average through Week 8 stood at 138.72. So yes, we're happy to have gotten this victory, but let's also "regress" back up to where we know we can be!
The Dogs of War
Unless The Dogs of War wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not getting enough looks" is definitely not an excuse this week. As a group, our six pass-catchers (four WR and two TE) collectively saw a grand total of 29 targets in Week 9. With just 14 total receptions, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
