Coach Talk

Thunder
Wow, talk about a bounce-back! The GM of Thunder shrugged off their six-game winless skid by logging a staggering 199.04 points this past week.
Big Smoke's Team
Unless Big Smoke's Team wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not getting enough chances" can't be an excuse this week. As a group, our five pass-catchers (four WR, one TE) combined to get a grand total of 21 targets in Week 10. Chemistry and timing seem to be issues as that group pulled down only 12 receptions.
