Coach Talk

A Gurley Has No Name
Props to you, A Gurley Has No Name. Nice work deploying a team that won by 19.46 points in Week 1. Let's take this W in stride, tip our cap to the GM of Off Constantly, and continue our march towards the Its Just a Fantasy World X league title.
Off Constantly
Unless Off Constantly wants to go full diva-mode, then "not seeing enough looks" isn't really a reasonable excuse this time around. As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) combined to get a grand total of 36 targets in Week 1. Timing and chemistry appear to be issues as that group tallied only 19 catches.
