Coach Talk

Chawks55
Sure, we ultimately got the win, but there's really no way sugarcoat it, Chawks55. Our wide receivers were utterly outplayed by the opposition. Held back by Allen Robinson II (12 total yards, no TDs) and Mike Williams (10 yards, no TDs), our three WRs combined for only 16.4 points in Week 1. The starting wideouts for Deflate My Balls doubled us up with a score of 36.2. We need to sweet-talk the QB to get some more targets in Week 2!
Deflate My Balls
Unless Deflate My Balls wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not seeing many looks" isn't really a valid excuse this time around. As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) were targeted a grand total of 28 times in Week 1. With just 14 total receptions, this group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
