Coach Talk

Lowered Expectations
Nice work deploying a lineup that registered 130 points this past week. We consider that to be a job well done. We should keep this momentum rolling as we head into our Week 5 matchup.
Jerry's Kids
Don't get too down on yourself, Jerry's Kids! You can feel good knowing that your kindness didn't go unnoticed. It took real generosity to help someone like Lowered Expectations succeed this week... and when the time comes, perhaps they'll return the favor by choosing a couple of defenses early in the 2021 draft (...something along those lines).
