Coach Talk

don't @ me brah
Hey don't @ me brah, the good news is that we took this matchup by more than 24 points. The better news is that we've proven we're even better than this... in fact, our team's scoring average through Week 9 stood at 105.28. So yes, we're happy to have gotten this victory, but let's also get back up to where we know we can be!
The Mad Scientist
The Mad Scientist may find it tough to gripe about lack of opportunity this past week. Our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 33 times in Week 10. Timing and chemistry appear to be issues as that group hauled in only 17 receptions.
