Coach Talk

MGKVSBRD
You know what, MGKVSBRD, we do appreciate the confidence. Playing a starter with zero points (Odell Beckham Jr.), while still getting the W... that's borderline cocky! All we ask is to please limit those flashy shenanigans to the early regular season. Can you imagine how silly we'd look if we let it happen in the playoffs?
The Phantom Limbs
Unless The Phantom Limbs wants to go full diva-mode, then "not seeing enough opportunities" isn't really a valid excuse this week. Our trio of pass-catchers (two WR, one TE) combined to get a hearty 35 targets in Week 1. With just 21 total receptions, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
