Coach Talk

Mudbugz
Listen, Mudbugz, we applaud you on the confidence. Starting a starter with negative points (Matt Gay) while still getting a W... that's playing with fire. It's a bold way to put a stamp on the season and the fantasy gods were definitely on your side this past week.
Booth's Cajun Crabs'
"Not getting many chances" shouldn't really be an excuse this week for Booth's Cajun Crabs'. Our pass-catching corps (two WR, one TE) collectively received a respectable 35 targets in Week 17. With only 20 total catches, this group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
