Coach Talk

Fatback and Greens
Nice work deploying a lineup that recorded 123.5 points this past week. We consider that to be a job well done.
LambeauLeapers
Here's a list of sports scenarios where it's borderline acceptable to go 0-for-2: A double-fault in tennis, a hitter's line in baseball, and a pair of Dwight Howard free throws. That's just about it. Going 0-for-2 on field goal attempts this past week? Sounds like Robbie Gould might be kicking himself back into the free agent pool following this performance... especially since LambeauLeapers needed every possible point in this tight matchup.
