Coach Talk

Negligent Discharges
Listen Negligent Discharges, the good news is that we took this matchup by more than 12 points. The *even better* news is that we've proven we're better than this, as our scoring average through four weeks was 168. So while we're happy to have earned this victory, let's get back up to where we know we can be!
Rebel Alliance
Well, we can't really complain about a shortage of opportunities this time, can we? As a group, our pass-catching corps (four WR and two TE) combined to see a grand total of 33 targets in Week 5. With just 19 total catches, that group may have some chemistry issues.
