Coach Talk

Slytherin's
So what if you ended up sliding from fourth place to fifth this past week... the important thing here is that your crew got the win. Stay laser-focused week-to-week and the results are sure to follow.
Comissioner's Team
Unless Comissioner's Team wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not seeing enough chances" is not a viable excuse this time around. Our pass-catching corps (two WR, one TE) were targeted a grand total of 22 times in Week 8. With just 10 total receptions, that group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
