Coach Talk

Out for Blood
Mission accomplished, Out for Blood. Nice job fielding a team that recorded 142.7 points this past week. Let's maintain this momentum as we roll into a tricky challenge in Week 5.
Burt Bombers
Unless Burt Bombers wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not seeing many opportunities" doesn't fly as an excuse this week. As a group, our pass-catching corps (two WR and one TE) collectively got a respectable 22 targets in Week 4. With just 12 total catches, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
