Coach Talk

Moetown
Hey, we admire the confidence, Moetown. Starting not one, but TWO players with zero points (Darren Waller and Kwity Paye), while still getting the win... that's borderline arrogant. All we ask is to please limit those flashy shenanigans to the early regular season. Can you imagine how silly we'd look if we let it happen in the playoffs?
NationalFelonLeague
"Not seeing many looks" really isn't an excuse this week for NationalFelonLeague. As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) were targeted a respectable 31 times in Week 5. Chemistry could be the primary issue, as that group tallied only 16 catches.
