Coach Talk

Lickalottapus
Wow, talk about a bounce-back! The GM of Lickalottapus shrugged off their two-game winless streak by putting up a whopping 135.68 points this past week.
THOMAS's Terrific Team
Unless THOMAS's Terrific Team wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not seeing enough chances" isn't really a reasonable excuse this week. As a group, our pass-catching corps (two WR and one TE) were targeted a hearty 27 times in Week 9. Chemistry appears to be an issue, as that group pulled down just 15 balls.
