Coach Talk

don't @ me brah
Listen don't @ me brah, I'm a glass-half-full kind of coach. While some may harp on the fact that our scoring output has slipped lately, I'll choose to take the high road. Averaging 112.3 points through Week 7, our crew has obviously proven that it's even stronger than the 89.32 we needed for this past week's win!
The Placebo Arm
The Placebo Arm may find it tough to gripe about lack of opportunities this past week. As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) collectively received a grand total of 29 targets in Week 8. Those players should try to get some extra practice reps in with their QBs, considering they pulled down just 15 balls.
