Coach Talk

The Golden Metcalf
Props on deploying a starting crew that accounted for more than 176 points this past week. We took care of business and did what we had to do. Let's tip our cap to the GM of 🏈Gridiron & Wine 🍷, take this victory in stride, and continue on our way towards the Et Le Touchdown 2021 league championship.
🏈Gridiron & Wine 🍷
Unless 🏈Gridiron & Wine 🍷 wants to go full diva-mode, then "not seeing many looks" won't cut it as an excuse this time around. As a group, our six pass-catchers (five WR, one TE) were targeted a grand total of 42 times in Week 6. Timing and chemistry appear to be issues as that group notched only 25 receptions.
