Coach Talk

Thawne
You know Thawne, the good news is that we took this matchup by a whopping 110.49 points. Even better news is that we know we're better than this... in fact, our team's scoring average through eight weeks was 414.47. So while we're happy to have gotten this victory, let's "regress" back up to where we know we can be!
Larry’s Old Jets
There's a possibility that Larry’s Old Jets would be a better talent scout in the NFL than in fantasy football. Seeing just 22 total targets this past week, their six starting pass-catchers (four WR, two TE) apparently did a superb job blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
