Coach Talk

NYG
Earning the win is most important, NYG, but we've also identified one spot where we can improve as a team. Our starting quarterback was utterly outclassed this past week. Our one men under center combined for just 24.76 points in Week 5, and the QBs for Stewies Pigskinners doubled us up with a score of 53.88. Let's win the QB battle in Week 6... it'll make life a lot easier for the rest of the guys on our squad!
Stewies Pigskinners
Unless Stewies Pigskinners wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not seeing many chances" isn't really an excuse this week. Our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) collectively got a grand total of 34 targets in Week 5. With only 20 total receptions, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
