Coach Talk

Mediocre
Hey, we'll definitely take the win, Mediocre! Having said that, if we want to ramp our performance up to the next level, then here's one area where we can improve. Our QB was significantly overmatched by the opposition. Our one signal-callers combined for just 11.02 points in Week 16, while the QBs for BOOM! nearly tripled us up with a score of 30.96.
BOOM!
As we say adios to 2021, our coaching staff can reflect on the fantasy season and appreciate all of the ups and the downs that came with it. Okay, well really just 12 ups and three downs, but still... Our coaching staff thanks you for spending a great year with us, and here's to 2022!
