Coach Talk

The McFadden Curse
We're wondering if the GM of The McFadden Curse was feeling a bit squeamish this one? In a matchup that was ultimately decided by a mere 1.82 points, Jason Sanders (3-of-4 on the day) thought that going 4-for-4 on field goals would've made things just a bit too boring. Remember folks, every point matters!
Mantitties69
Welp, we can't really whine about a lack of opportunities this time, can we? As a group, our pass-catching corps (four WR and one TE) were targeted a hearty 36 times in Week 10. Chemistry and timing seem to be issues as that group reeled in just 21 balls.
