Coach Talk

Two Old Buzzards
You know Two Old Buzzards, I'm a glass-half-full kind of coach. While others may harp on the fact that our scoring output has decreased a bit recently, I'll choose to spin this in a positive direction. Averaging 105.09 points through Week 13, our crew has shown it's certainly capable of outperforming the 97.8 we needed for this past week's win!
balbusse's Team
"Not seeing many chances" isn't a valid excuse this week for balbusse's Team. As a group, our trio of pass-catchers (two WR and one TE) collectively saw a healthy 21 targets in Week 14. Timing and chemistry seem to be issues as that group pulled down just 12 catches.
