Coach Talk

House of Pain
You know, football is all about exploiting the mismatches. Our squad took that to heart this past week and literally tripled Montreal Fencers at the quarterback position (56.51 points to 18.74).
Montreal Fencers
"Not getting many opportunities" is definitely not a viable excuse this week for Montreal Fencers. As a group, our pass-catching corps (five WR, one TE) were targeted a healthy 45 times in Week 17. With only 24 total catches, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
