Coach Talk

Bizzle's Boys
Putting together a lineup that netted over 161 points this past week... we did what we needed to do and took care of business. We should take this W in stride, tip our hat to the GM of Brain, and continue our march towards the Game of Inches league championship.
Brain
Unless Brain wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not getting many looks" isn't really a reasonable excuse this week. As a group, our four wide receivers were targeted a grand total of 33 times in Week 9. Chemistry could be the primary problem, as that group hauled in only 11 balls.
