Coach Talk

KC Chefs
Listen KC Chefs, we're "glass half full" kind of coaches. While others may harp on the fact that our scoring's slipped lately, we'll choose to take the optimistic route. Averaging 118.99 points through Week 8, our crew has definitely proven that it's even better than the 93.26 we needed to win this past week!
Koester's Bail Bonds
Well, we certainly can't gripe about a shortage of opportunities this week, can we? As a group, our pass-catching corps (two WR and one TE) collectively got a hearty 23 targets in Week 9. With just 11 total receptions, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
