Coach Talk

Nu' Yawk Giants
Hey Nu' Yawk Giants, the good news is that we took this matchup by 25.7 points. The better news is that we've proven we're even stronger than this, as our scoring average through Week 8 stood at 156.25. So while we're happy to have gotten this victory, let's get back up to where we know we can be!
The Lone Hater
Well, we can't really complain about a lack of opportunities this week, can we? Our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) were targeted a grand total of 23 times in Week 9. Those players might need to hit the practice field, considering they managed just 14 catches.
