Coach Talk

ThisisGAYasf
Listen, ThisisGAYasf, we applaud you on the confidence. It takes moxie to play a starter with negative points (Evan McPherson) while still getting the W. All we ask is to please limit those shenanigans to the regular season. Try it in the playoffs and we're toast.
Monqueef
Welp, we certainly can't whine about a shortage of opportunities this time, can we? As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) collectively got a healthy 27 targets in Week 8. With only 16 total receptions, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
