Coach Talk

Destroyers
Good job assembling a starting crew that accounted for nearly 414 points this past week. We did what was needed and took care of business. Let's take this win in stride, tip our hat to the GM of Threat Level Midnigh, and continue on our way towards the stars league title.
Threat Level Midnigh
Well, we certainly can't gripe about a lack of opportunities this time, can we? As a group, our pass-catching corps (four WR and one TE) collectively received a grand total of 30 targets in Week 14. With only 18 total catches, that group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
