Coach Talk

LIONPWR
Deploying a lineup that won by 35.65 points this past week... we consider that to be a job well done. We should tip our cap to the GM of Patriot Killer, take this W in stride, and continue on our way towards a fantasy championship.
Patriot Killer
Unless Patriot Killer wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not getting many opportunities" doesn't fly as an excuse this week. As a group, our six pass-catchers (five WR, one TE) were targeted a respectable 47 times in Week 8. Chemistry could be the primary problem, as that group reeled in only 27 receptions.
