Coach Talk

Chris's Crazy Team
You know what, Chris's Crazy Team, we do admire the confidence. It's a bold move to deploy a starter with zero points (Darren Waller), while still earning the win. All we ask is to please limit that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the early regular season. Can you imagine how silly we'd look if we let it happen in the playoffs?
Tom's Groovy Team
Unless Tom's Groovy Team wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not getting many looks" cannot be an excuse this week. Our seven pass-catchers (five WR and two TE) collectively saw a respectable 45 targets in Week 5. With only 27 total receptions, this group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
