Coach Talk

Planet united
Whoa, Planet united, you put the rest of the league on notice with this performance. In addition to a 13-point victory, you also jumped up from eighth place to sixth in the league standings... right into the thick of the playoff hunt
Fools and Horses
"Not seeing enough chances" shouldn't really be an excuse this week for Fools and Horses. As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 29 times in Week 12. Chemistry appears to be an issue, as that group tallied just 16 catches.
