Coach Talk

Vandals
Putting together a lineup that won by a whopping 109 points this past week... we consider that to be a job well done. Let's take this W in stride, tip our cap to the GM of ExigentCircumstances, and continue on our way towards the OklahomIraqis League PFC title.
ExigentCircumstances
Hey, it's possible that ExigentCircumstances would be a better GM in real football than in fantasy. Seeing only 14 total targets in Week 5, their five starting pass-catchers (four WR, one TE) apparently did a superb job running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
