Coach Talk

Team Butthole
Nice job deploying a starting crew that accounted for more than 150 points this past week. We did what we had to do and took care of business. We should keep this momentum as we move on to our Week 6 matchup.
🗣Sam’s Golden Showers
Unless 🗣Sam’s Golden Showers wants to go full diva-mode, then "not seeing many opportunities" isn't really a viable excuse this week. As a group, our pass-catching corps (two WR and one TE) collectively received a respectable 30 targets in Week 5. Timing and chemistry seem to be issues as that group managed just 16 receptions.
