Coach Talk

Gridiron Gladiators
You know Gridiron Gladiators, the good news is that we took this matchup by over 54 points. The better news is that we've proven we're even better than this, as our scoring average through Week 12 stood at 127.22. So yes, we're happy to have earned this victory, but let's also get back up to where we know we can be!
What The Shit
What The Shit will find it tough to gripe about lack of opportunities this past week. As a group, our five pass-catchers (four WR and one TE) collectively got a hearty 30 targets in Week 13. With only 17 total catches, that group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
