Coach Talk

Whatdeysay
Well Whatdeysay, the good news is that we took this matchup by more than 39 points. The better news is that we've proven we're even better than this, as our scoring average through three weeks was 127.23. So yes, we're happy to have gotten this victory, but let's also "regress" back up to where we know we can be!
Gridiron Gang
Unless Gridiron Gang wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not getting many opportunities" doesn't fly as an excuse this time around. As a group, our trio of pass-catchers (two WR, one TE) combined to receive a grand total of 15 targets in Week 4. Chemistry could be the primary problem, as that group pulled down only eight balls.
