Coach Talk

ThisisGAYasf
Hey, it's good to be confident, ThisisGAYasf. It takes a certain kind of moxie to play a starter with zero points (Cole Kmet), while still getting a W. All we ask is to please limit those flashy shenanigans to the early regular season. Do it in the playoffs and we'll be toast.
Monqueef
Welp, we certainly can't gripe about a lack of opportunities this time, can we? As a group, our trio of pass-catchers (two WR, one TE) combined to get a grand total of 25 targets in Week 1. With just 15 total catches, that group may have some chemistry issues.
