Coach Talk

Matty Ice and Co.
Listen Matty Ice and Co., we're glass-half-full kind of coaches. While some may harp on the fact that our scoring output has declined a bit lately, we'll choose to take the optimistic route. Averaging 138.8 points through Week 8, our crew has shown it's certainly capable of outperforming the 100.1 we needed for this past week's win!
Kittle Me This
Unless Kittle Me This wants to go full diva-mode, then "not seeing many opportunities" isn't really a reasonable excuse this week. As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) combined to get a grand total of 21 targets in Week 9. Timing and chemistry appear to be issues as that group notched just 11 receptions.
