Coach Talk

Rebel Alliance
We're wondering if the GM of Rebel Alliance was sweating bullets in this one? In a matchup that was ultimately decided by a mere 2.4 points, Graham Gano (2-of-3 on the day) decided that going 3-for-3 on field goals just wouldn't have been exciting enough. Remember kids, every point matters!
Vultures
Unless Vultures wants to go full diva-mode, then "not seeing enough looks" isn't really an excuse this week. As a group, our pass-catching corps (four WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 31 times in Week 4. Those players should try to get some extra practice reps in with their QBs, considering they pulled down only 19 catches.
