Coach Talk

Big Baller Bastards
Nice job deploying a lineup that won by over 15 points this past week. We took care of business and did what we needed to do. Let's tip our cap to the GM of The Corporate Clowns, take this win in stride, and continue our march towards the The Bench Warmers League title.
The Corporate Clowns
Unless The Corporate Clowns wants to go full diva-mode, then "not seeing enough opportunities" is definitely not an excuse this week. Our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) were targeted a respectable 18 times in Week 5. With just 10 total receptions, that group may have some chemistry issues.
