Coach Talk

GC Lions
Listen GC Lions, the good news is that we took this matchup by nearly 34 points. The *even better* news is that we've proven we're better than this... as a matter of fact, our team's scoring average through Week 8 stood at 114.7. So yes, we're happy to have earned this victory, but let's also get back up to where we know we can be!
Ultimate Fantasy's Dandy Team
Ultimate Fantasy's Dandy Team will find it tough to complain about lack of opportunity this past week. Our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) collectively got a healthy 34 targets in Week 9. Those players should spend extra practice time working with their QBs, considering they pulled down just 14 catches.
