Coach Talk

GOTA’s Grand Finale
Nice job, GOTA’s Grand Finale. Assembling a team that recorded 309.5 points this past matchup. Let's take this win in stride, tip our cap to the GM of Burgtown Bombers, and continue pushing forward to the Defense Rules league championship.
Burgtown Bombers
Unless Burgtown Bombers wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not seeing enough opportunities" isn't really a reasonable excuse this time around. As a group, our pass-catching corps (six WR, one TE) combined to receive a grand total of 48 targets in Week 3. With just 27 total catches, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
