Coach Talk

Christmas Miracle
Nice work assembling a starting crew that tallied 141 points this past week. We consider that to be a job done right. Let's keep this momentum going as we roll into what ought to be a favorable Week 2 matchup.
WilburForce
Unless WilburForce wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not getting enough chances" can't be a valid excuse this week. Our trio of pass-catchers (two WR and one TE) were targeted a hearty 23 times in Week 1. With only 13 total catches, that group may have some chemistry issues.
