Coach Talk

Springfield Spartans
Well Springfield Spartans, the good news is that we took this matchup by almost 85 points. The *even better* news is that we know we're better than this, as our scoring average through Week 7 stood at 221.21. So yes, we're happy to have gotten this victory, but let's also "regress" back up to where we know we can be!
Aidan's Amazing Team
Aidan's Amazing Team will find it tough to complain about lack of opportunity this past week. Our pass-catching corps (five WR, one TE) combined to receive a grand total of 36 targets in Week 8. With just 22 total receptions, that group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
