Coach Talk

Angeell's Team
Whoa, Angeell's Team, you put the rest of the league on notice with this explosive showing. Not only did you win by 56.46 points, you also jumped up a couple of spots in the league standings... directly into the thick of playoff contention
DavBre Team
Well, we certainly can't complain about a lack of opportunities this time, can we? Our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) collectively saw a grand total of 28 targets in Week 8. Timing and chemistry seem to be issues as that group hauled in just 16 catches.
