Coach Talk

Strikers
Props on deploying a lineup that won by almost 81 points this past week. We consider that to be a job done right. We should maintain this momentum as we step into our next challenge in Week 13.
The Devils
Listen, The Devils, I've been in this business long enough to know that sometimes points can just magically appear out of the blue. Then sometimes, like in your matchup this week, they don't! Okay, okay... asking for an extra 81 points may be a bit on the excessive side.
