Coach Talk

Eat Shit Caiden
Bravo on deploying a starting crew that netted 130.58 points this past week. We consider that to be a job done right. We should tip our cap to the GM of owen's Unreal Team, take this win in stride, and continue our march towards a fantasy title.
owen's Unreal Team
Well, we certainly can't complain about a lack of opportunities this time, can we? Our pass-catching corps (two WR and one TE) collectively got a grand total of 28 targets in Week 9. Chemistry and timing appear to be issues as that group tallied only 14 catches.
