Coach Talk

Anthony's Primo Team
We wonder if the GM of Anthony's Primo Team was sweating bullets in this one? In a matchup that was ultimately decided by only 3.5 points, Robbie Gould (2-for-3 on the day) decided that going 3-for-3 on field goals would've made things just a bit too boring. Remember kids, every point matters!
PANTHERS
"Not getting many opportunities" really isn't an excuse this week for PANTHERS. Our pass-catching corps (seven WR and one TE) collectively got a grand total of 60 targets in Week 1. Timing and chemistry appear to be issues as that group managed just 32 receptions.
