Coach Talk

Wyzzardd
Hey Wyzzardd, the good news is that we won this matchup by a staggering 21.63 points. The better news is that we've proven we're even better than this... as a matter of fact, our team's scoring average through eight weeks was 134.14. So yes, we're happy to have gotten this victory, but let's also "regress" back up to where we know we can be!
Island of Misfits
Welp, we can't really complain about a shortage of opportunities this time, can we? As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) collectively got a respectable 34 targets in Week 9. With just 20 total receptions, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
