Coach Talk

Unladen Swallows
Deploying a lineup that produced more than 283 points this past week... we took care of business and did what had to be done. Let's take this win in stride, tip our cap to the GM of Chill Pill, and continue on our way towards the Colorado Keeper League title.
Chill Pill
Chill Pill may find it tough to gripe about lack of opportunities this past week. As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 29 times in Week 14. With only 17 total catches, that group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
