Coach Talk

Throw up the X
You know Throw up the X, the good news is that we won this matchup by an impressive 21 points. The *even better* news is that we've proven we're stronger than this... in fact, our team's scoring average through eight weeks was 106.63. So while we're happy to have earned this victory, let's get back up to where we know we can be!
Hoffman Hillbillies
Unless Hoffman Hillbillies wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not getting enough chances" is not an excuse this time around. Our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) combined to receive a respectable 30 targets in Week 9. With just 15 total catches, this group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
