Coach Talk

Mahomes on the Hill
Nice work assembling a starting crew that won by 64.6 points this past week. We consider that to be a job well done. Let's take this W in stride, tip our hat to the GM of Fresh Prince of Helaire, and continue the march towards the BACKYARD BALL league title.
Fresh Prince of Helaire
Unless Fresh Prince of Helaire wants to go full diva-mode, then "not getting many chances" won't cut it as an excuse this time around. Our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) were targeted a healthy 37 times in Week 1. Those players might need to hit the practice field, considering they pulled down only 22 receptions.
