Coach Talk

Bless~Up
Wow, Bless~Up, you put the rest of the league on notice with this dominant effort. Not only did you win by 44+ points, you also jumped up from ninth place to seventh in the league standings!
7th Place or Bust
"Not seeing many chances" can't be an excuse this week for 7th Place or Bust. Our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) combined to get a grand total of 26 targets in Week 11. With just 14 total catches, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
