Coach Talk

Please win team
Hey, the key to football is creating mismatches, right? Thanks to a solid performance by Ben Roethlisberger, we thoroughly dominated Packer backers at the quarterback position this past week (21.36 points to 7.94). Roethlisberger went 27-for-34 for 239 yards and three TDs in a 38-29 win over the Eagles.
Packer backers
"Not seeing enough chances" won't cut it as an excuse this week for Packer backers. Our trio of pass-catchers (two WR, one TE) were targeted a grand total of 25 times in Week 5. Timing and chemistry seem to be issues as that group hauled in only 13 receptions.
