Coach Talk

I’m Pickle Rick!
Listen I’m Pickle Rick!, the good news is that we won this matchup by almost five points. Even better news is that we've proven we're better than this... in fact, our team's scoring average through Week 7 stood at 118.49. So while we're happy to have earned this victory, let's "regress" back up to where we know we can be!
Bronx Bombers
"Not getting many looks" won't fly as an excuse this week for Bronx Bombers. As a group, our trio of pass-catchers (two WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 18 times in Week 8. Those players should spend extra practice time working with their QBs, considering they recorded just nine receptions.
