Coach Talk

IF I DIE I DIE
Kudos on assembling a lineup that posted 109.68 points this past week. We consider that to be a job done right. We should keep this momentum going as we head into our next matchup in Week 4.
Lambeau leaps
Unless Lambeau leaps wants to go full diva-mode, then "not getting many looks" won't cut it as an excuse this time around. As a group, our pass-catching corps (two WR and one TE) collectively got a whopping 21 targets in Week 3. With just 11 total catches, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
