Coach Talk

Dmitry's Team
Earning the win is most important, Dmitry's Team, but we do know of one spot where we can improve as a team... our wide receivers were utterly outclassed by the opposition. Cooper Kupp (40 total yards, no TDs) and Terry McLaurin (61 yards, no TDs) combined for only 14.6 points in Week 1. For Jay's Awesome Team, Keenan Allen and Davante Adams almost tripled us up with a score of 40.3. Let's persuade the offensive coordinator to get some more targets in Week 2!
Jay's Awesome Team
Keep your head up, Jay's Awesome Team! You can take solace in the fact that your kindness this week did not go unnoticed. It was generous of you to help someone like Dmitry's Team succeed... and when the time comes, perhaps they'll return the favor by choosing a couple of kickers early in next year's draft, something along those lines.
