Coach Talk

Flutie Flakes
Nice job assembling a starting crew that won by over 25 points this past week. We did what we needed to do and took care of business. We should keep this momentum as we move on to a tricky matchup in Week 2.
Matty Ice
Unless Matty Ice wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not seeing enough chances" can't be an excuse this week. As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 29 times in Week 1. Chemistry and timing seem to be issues as that group reeled in just 17 receptions.
