Coach Talk

Gary Gus's Team
You know Gary Gus's Team, the good news is that we took this matchup by over 11 points. The better news is that we've proven we're even stronger than this... as a matter of fact, our team's scoring average through five weeks was 96.32. So while we're happy to have gotten this victory, let's get back up to where we know we can be!
Josh's Team
Welp, we can't really gripe about a lack of opportunities this time, can we? Our five pass-catchers (four WR, one TE) were targeted a respectable 26 times in Week 6. Chemistry could be the primary issue, as that group reeled in only 14 catches.
