Coach Talk

Alouiscious
Good work, Alouiscious. Assembling a lineup that earned more than 134 points this past matchup. Let's take this W in stride, tip our hat to the GM of 🏈Gridiron & Wine 🍷, and continue the march towards the Et Le Touchdown 2021 league title.
🏈Gridiron & Wine 🍷
🏈Gridiron & Wine 🍷 will find it tough to complain about lack of opportunities this past week. Our six pass-catchers (five WR, one TE) were targeted a hearty 41 times in Week 3. With only 25 total receptions, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
