Coach Talk

PANTHERS
Nice work deploying a lineup that netted nearly 166 points this past week. We deem that to be a job done right. We should tip our cap to the GM of Matt's Magnificent Team, take this W in stride, and continue on our way towards a fantasy title.
Matt's Magnificent Team
Unless Matt's Magnificent Team wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not seeing enough opportunities" doesn't fly as an excuse this time around. Our seven pass-catchers (five WR and two TE) were targeted a grand total of 54 times in Week 5. With only 32 total receptions, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
