Coach Talk

The Placebo Arm
Talk about a bounce-back... The GM of The Placebo Arm shrugged off their two-game winless skid by putting up a whopping 125.02 points this past week!
Fantastic Frinks
Unless Fantastic Frinks wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not getting enough looks" won't cut it as an excuse this week. As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) were targeted a respectable 37 times in Week 10. With only 22 total receptions, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
