Coach Talk

Death Sticks
Putting together a lineup that recorded 118 points this past week... we did what was needed and took care of business. Let's tip our cap to the GM of Imperatori iz Niš, take this victory in stride, and continue the march towards a fantasy title.
Imperatori iz Niš
"Not seeing many opportunities" isn't a valid excuse this week for Imperatori iz Niš. Our pass-catching corps (two WR, one TE) collectively saw a grand total of 15 targets in Week 13. With only nine total receptions, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
