Coach Talk

Hater Nation
Listen Hater Nation, we're glass-half-full kind of coaches. While others may harp on the fact that our scoring output has slipped lately, we'll choose to spin this in a positive direction. Averaging 125.91 points through Week 4, our crew has shown it's more than capable of outproducing the 113.34 we needed to win this past week!
Deebo's pigeon coop
Unless Deebo's pigeon coop wants to go full diva-mode, then "not seeing enough looks" is definitely not an excuse this time around. Our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) collectively received a respectable 28 targets in Week 5. Chemistry and timing seem to be issues as that group reeled in just 17 catches.
