Coach Talk

Pack Rats
Props to you, Pack Rats. Putting together a team that won by nearly 35 points in Week 11. We should tip our cap to the GM of Cowboys, take this W in stride, and continue on our way towards the Aaron's Boys league title.
Cowboys
Unless Cowboys wants to go full diva-mode, then "not getting enough chances" is not an excuse this time around. As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR and two TE) combined to get a respectable 37 targets in Week 11. With only 20 total catches, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
