Coach Talk

Keeper Reapers
Listen, Keeper Reapers, we do appreciate the confidence. It's a bold move to play a starter with zero points (the Green Bay Packers defense), while still earning the W. All we ask is to please keep that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the early regular season. Try it in the playoffs and we'll be finished.
Iz Čikaga moji...
Unless Iz Čikaga moji... wants to go full diva-mode, then "not getting enough looks" is not a reasonable excuse this week. Our trio of pass-catchers (two WR, one TE) were targeted a hearty 20 times in Week 1. Chemistry appears to be the primary issue, as that group recorded just 12 catches.
