Coach Talk

Leader of the PACK
Only two field goals on four attempts? It's quite possible that Rodrigo Blankenship just kicked himself back into the free agent pool after that sort of performance.
Raiders4Life
Hey, Raiders4Life, what'd your receiving crew do to get written out of their teams' game plans this week? Seeing only 20 total targets this past week, our five starting pass-catchers (four WR, one TE) obviously got on the bad side of their respective QBs.
