Coach Talk

john's Astounding Team
Wow, john's Astounding Team, you really made a statement to the rest of the league with this shellacking. In addition to a 48.3-point victory, you also jumped up two places in the league standings!
Siddharth's Superb Team
Unless Siddharth's Superb Team wants to go full diva-mode, then "not getting many chances" is not a valid excuse this time around. As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) were targeted a grand total of 23 times in Week 3. Those players should spend extra practice time working with their QBs, considering they managed only 13 catches.
