Coach Talk

Stax's bitches
Mission accomplished, Stax's bitches. Nice job fielding a lineup that blew the opponent out by a whopping 21 points this past week. Let's take this W in stride, tip our hat to the GM of Stone House Stoners, and continue on our way towards the GRUMPY OLD MEN league championship.
Stone House Stoners
Well, we certainly can't gripe about a shortage of opportunities this time, can we? As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) collectively saw a whopping 23 targets in Week 5. Chemistry could be the primary problem, as that group managed only 14 receptions.
