Coach Talk

Settlers of Saquon
Bravo on assembling a starting crew that earned almost 124 points this past week. We deem that to be a job well done. We should take this W in stride, tip our cap to the GM of I Am The Law, and continue pushing forward to the Yellow Fever Football League title.
I Am The Law
Unless I Am The Law wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not getting enough chances" is not an excuse this time around. Our five pass-catchers (four WR and one TE) collectively got a grand total of 33 targets in Week 15. Those players might need to get some extra reps with the JUGS machine, considering they notched just 20 catches.
