Coach Talk

Lavapoops🥵
You know what, Lavapoops🥵, we do admire the confidence. Playing a starter with zero points (Cole Kmet), while still getting the win... talk about arrogant. All we ask is to please keep that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the early regular season. Do it in the postseason and we'll be finished.
Hater Nation
Unless Hater Nation wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not getting many opportunities" is definitely not an excuse this week. As a group, our pass-catching corps (five WR and one TE) combined to get a grand total of 39 targets in Week 1. Those players should spend extra practice time working with their QBs, considering they recorded just 20 receptions.
