Coach Talk

JustToGetBy
Assembling a lineup that won by 56 points this past week... we consider that to be a job well done. Let's take this W in stride, tip our cap to the GM of DREAMCHASEGAMING, and continue our march towards the Football guys keeper league title.
DREAMCHASEGAMING
Well, we can't really complain about a lack of opportunities this week, can we? Our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) were targeted a grand total of 24 times in Week 8. Chemistry and timing appear to be issues as that group pulled down just 14 balls.
