Coach Talk

Stars + Stripes
Whoa, Stars + Stripes, you really made a statement to the rest of the league with this victory. Not only did you win by 32.48 points, you also climbed from fifth place to third in the league standings!
I got Bouv’d
Unless I got Bouv’d wants to go full diva-mode, then "not seeing enough chances" won't cut it as an excuse this time around. Our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) combined to get a grand total of 24 targets in Week 8. Those players might need to spend more time with the JUGS machine, considering they notched just 13 catches.
