Coach Talk

Boomtown Brawlers
Well Boomtown Brawlers, the good news is that we won this matchup by over 33 points. The better news is that we've proven we're even stronger than this, as our scoring average through Week 8 stood at 155.81. So yes, we're happy to have earned this victory, but let's also "regress" back up to where we know we can be!
GreatPlainsDrifters
Unless GreatPlainsDrifters wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not getting many opportunities" doesn't fly as an excuse this time around. Our five pass-catchers (four WR, one TE) were targeted a healthy 35 times in Week 9. Those players might need to spend more time with the JUGS machine, considering they pulled down only 20 balls.
