Coach Talk

Mr. Much Beer
Wow, talk about righting the ship! The GM of Mr. Much Beer shrugged off their two-game winless streak by logging a whopping 166.8 points this past week.
Slaytonbines
Unless Slaytonbines wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not seeing enough chances" isn't really a valid excuse this week. Our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) were targeted a whopping 23 times in Week 5. Chemistry seems to be a problem, as that group reeled in just 13 catches.
