Coach Talk

Supercats
Sure, we ultimately got the win, but there's really no way sugarcoat it, Supercats; our QB was severely outclassed by the opposition. Our one signal-callers combined for just 10.5 points in Week 9, and the QBs for Mountain Climbing Jellyfish doubled us up with a score of 24.08. Let's spend some extra time this week working with our receivers!
Mountain Climbing Jellyfish
Keep your head up, Mountain Climbing Jellyfish! Look, we've been in this industry long enough to know that occasionally an extra point can just randomly appear out of thin air... and then sometimes, like in your case this week, it doesn't! Keep pushing forward and good things will eventually happen.
