Coach Talk

Hug It Out Bitch
Deploying a starting crew that tallied almost 113 points this past week... we took care of business and did what we had to do. We should tip our cap to the GM of Barely Legal, take this W in stride, and continue the march towards the Punks n Drunks league championship.
Barely Legal
"Not getting enough opportunities" can't be a reasonable excuse this week for Barely Legal. Our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) collectively saw a respectable 33 targets in Week 5. With only 20 total receptions, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
