Coach Talk

STINGERS
Hey, we'll definitely take the win, STINGERS! Having said that, if we want to take our performance to the next level, then here's one area where we can improve: our quarterback was severely overmatched by the opposition. Our one signal-callers combined for just 9.42 points in Week 6, and the QBs for bobtoo999's Optimal Team doubled us up with a score of 21.62. We need to spend some extra time this week working with our receivers!
bobtoo999's Optimal Team
Unless bobtoo999's Optimal Team wants to go full diva-mode, then "not seeing enough opportunities" is definitely not an excuse this time around. Our pass-catching corps (two WR and one TE) were targeted a hearty 26 times in Week 6. Chemistry and timing appear to be issues as that group notched just 16 receptions.
