Coach Talk

Covid Kingdom
Deploying a lineup that won by a whopping 39.54 points this past week... we deem that to be a job done right. Let's take this win in stride, tip our hat to the GM of Nightmare LI, and continue the march towards the Player's Club league title.
Nightmare LI
Unless Nightmare LI wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not getting enough opportunities" cannot be a valid excuse this week. Our pass-catching corps (two WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 29 times in Week 2. With just 17 total receptions, this group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
