Coach Talk

SteelerHater57
Listen SteelerHater57, the good news is that we took this matchup by 4.71 points. The better news is that we've proven we're even stronger than this, as our scoring average through Week 7 stood at 31.48. So yes, we're happy to have gotten this victory, but let's also "regress" back up to where we know we can be!
Heavy Doobage
Heavy Doobage may find it tough to gripe about lack of opportunity this past week. As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) were targeted a hearty 18 times in Week 8. Chemistry seems to be the primary problem, as that group managed only nine receptions.
