Coach Talk

Diddy
Nice job deploying a lineup that won by nearly 20 points this past week. We consider that to be a job done right. Let's tip our cap to the GM of Unstoppable, take this win in stride, and continue marching forward to the Hiawatha League of Champions title.
Unstoppable
Unless Unstoppable wants to go full diva-mode, then "not seeing many chances" is not a reasonable excuse this time around. As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) were targeted a respectable 17 times in Week 1. With only 10 total catches, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
