Coach Talk

ballthemblack's Swell Team
Hey, it's good to be confident, ballthemblack's Swell Team. It takes real moxie to play not one, not two, but FOUR starters with zero points while still earning the W. All we ask is to please limit those flashy shenanigans to the early regular season. Can you imagine how silly we'd look if we let it happen in the playoffs?
They Might Be Giants
Welp, we can't really gripe about a shortage of opportunities this time, can we? As a group, our pass-catching corps (six WR and one TE) collectively received a whopping 47 targets in Week 2. With just 25 total receptions, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
