Coach Talk

Pulsechamber
Deploying a lineup that accounted for 142.52 points this past week... we consider that to be a job well done. We should take this W in stride, tip our cap to the GM of Wildebeasts, and continue pushing forward to the Strangers League title.
Wildebeasts
"Not getting enough looks" really isn't an excuse this week for Wildebeasts. As a group, our pass-catching corps (two WR and one TE) collectively got a healthy 18 targets in Week 5. With just eight total catches, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
