Coach Talk

FunkyChickens
We wonder if the GM of FunkyChickens was sweating bullets in this one? In a matchup that was ultimately decided by only 1.9 points, Matt Gay (2-for-3 on the day) decided that going 3-for-3 on field goals just wouldn't have been exciting enough. Remember kids, every point matters!
BHOMBERS
Registering a couple of receptions on only three targets this past week, it appears that the starting running backs for BHOMBERS should smooth things over with their quarterbacks... and remind them to start checking down more often.
