Coach Talk

Bad News Bears
Well Bad News Bears, the good news is that we won this matchup by nearly six points. Even better news is that we know we're better than this, as our scoring average through Week 8 stood at 120.49. So while we're happy to have earned this victory, let's get back up to where we know we can be!
Danny's Dandy Team
Danny's Dandy Team may find it tough to gripe about lack of opportunity this past week. Our five pass-catchers (three WR, two TE) were targeted a grand total of 34 times in Week 9. Chemistry could be the primary problem, as that group reeled in only 18 balls.
