Coach Talk

Double Tap Champ
Good work deploying a starting crew that registered 287 points this past week. We consider that to be a job well done. We should maintain this momentum as we move on to our Week 8 matchup.
Dawgman
Usually, 237 points isn't too ghoulish of a showing, Dawgman. The spookiest issue this past week is that you had to face Double Tap Champ and their scary score of 287.
