Coach Talk

Comeback Kid
Bravo, Comeback Kid. Nice work fielding a starting crew that nearly recorded 265 points this past matchup. Let's tip our cap to the GM of HowlersHK2, take this victory in stride, and continue our march towards the Google Lucy Pinder (Year 6) league title.
HowlersHK2
Well, we can't really complain about a shortage of opportunities this time, can we? Our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) were targeted a grand total of 17 times in Week 13. Chemistry appears to be the primary problem, as that group reeled in just nine catches.
