Coach Talk

Oblong balls
Listen Oblong balls, the good news is that we won this matchup by over 13 points. The *even better* news is that we've proven we're stronger than this, as our scoring average through Week 9 stood at 112.9. So while we're happy to have gotten this victory, let's "regress" back up to where we know we can be!
SnitchesGetStitches
"Not getting enough looks" is definitely not an excuse this week for SnitchesGetStitches. As a group, our five pass-catchers (three WR, two TE) were targeted a whopping 27 times in Week 10. Chemistry and timing seem to be issues as that group hauled in just 16 balls.
