Coach Talk

7th Place or Bust
Listen 7th Place or Bust, I'm a "glass half full" kind of coach. While others may harp on the fact that our scoring's declined a bit lately, I'll choose to take the optimistic route. Averaging 118.04 points through Week 9, our crew has obviously proven that it's even better than the 67.02 we needed to win this past week!
Hi_Hater
"Not getting many opportunities" shouldn't really be an excuse this week for Hi_Hater. Our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) combined to receive a hearty 25 targets in Week 10. Timing and chemistry seem to be issues as that group reeled in only 14 receptions.
