Coach Talk

Dirty Hippies
Well Dirty Hippies, the good news is that we took this matchup by 9.5 points. The better news is that we've proven we're even better than this, as our scoring average through Week 5 stood at 119.87. So yes, we're happy to have earned this victory, but let's also "regress" back up to where we know we can be!
Whackers
Registering zero receptions on just one target this past week, it seems like the starting RBs for Whackers should smooth things over with their quarterbacks... and remind them to start checking down more frequently.
