Coach Talk

the end
Getting the win is most important, the end, but we also know of one spot where we can get better as a team. Our quarterback was utterly overmatched this past week. Matt Ryan went 30-of-40 for 371 yards and four touchdowns for Tommysterrors, and all Matthew Stafford could manage was a 19-for-31 day, with 223 yards and one passing TD (plus an ugly interception). We need to put some more effort into scouting those upcoming defenses!
Tommysterrors
Tommysterrors will find it tough to gripe about lack of opportunities this past week. As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) combined to see a grand total of 24 targets in Week 6. Chemistry could be a problem, as that group recorded only 14 receptions.
