Coach Talk

BuffaloKids187!!!
Well BuffaloKids187!!!, the good news is that we took this matchup by more than five points. The *even better* news is that we've proven we're stronger than this, as our scoring average through Week 6 stood at 128.84. So yes, we're happy to have earned this victory, but let's also "regress" back up to where we know we can be!
Tom's Top-Notch Team
Welp, we certainly can't whine about a shortage of opportunities this week, can we? Our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 24 times in Week 7. Those players should spend extra practice time working with their QBs, considering they hauled in only 14 balls.
