Coach Talk

Demaryius Targaryen
Kudos to you, Demaryius Targaryen. Nice work fielding a team that blew the opposition out by over 48 points in Week 5. Let's take this W in stride, tip our hat to the GM of Dongers, and continue marching forward to the La Liga league championship.
Dongers
Unless Dongers wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not getting enough chances" is not an excuse this week. As a group, our pass-catching corps (two WR, one TE) were targeted a grand total of 24 times in Week 5. Those players might need to hit the practice field, considering they notched just 12 receptions.
