Coach Talk

#GoatPicks
Only one field goal on four attempts? Sounds like Stephen Gostkowski might be kicking himself to the waiver wire after this performance.
Easy Money
Well, we can't really gripe about a lack of opportunities this time, can we? Our pass-catching corps (four WR and one TE) were targeted a whopping 44 times in Week 1. With only 26 total receptions, that group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
