Coach Talk

Buffalo Bills
Listen, Buffalo Bills, we do appreciate the confidence. Deploying not one, but TWO starters with zero points (Greg Rousseau and Ed Oliver), while still getting the win... that's playing with fire! 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?
Baltimore Ravens
Baltimore Ravens will find it tough to gripe about lack of opportunity this past week. As a group, our eight pass-catchers (seven WR, one TE) were targeted a grand total of 43 times in Week 5. Chemistry and timing appear to be issues as that group recorded just 25 receptions.
