Coach Talk

Knuck if you buck
Hey, we'll definitely take the win, Knuck if you buck! Having said that, if we want to take our performance to the next level, then we have found an area to improve; our quarterback was severely outmatched this past week. Our one guys under center combined for just 6.5 points in Week 16, and the QBs for The Dirk Digglers literally quadrupled us with a score of 28.98.
The Dirk Digglers
Hey, at least there were no celebration penalties: The six offensive position starters (three WRs, two RBs, one TE) on The Dirk Digglers collectively gained a whopping 480 total yards. Unfortunately, no one from that group was able to score a touchdown in Week 16.
