Coach Talk

Gerbschmidt
Getting the win is most important, Gerbschmidt, but we've also identified one spot where we can improve as a team: our quarterback was significantly outplayed this past week. Our one signal-callers combined for just 12.05 points in Week 16, and the QBs for Black Widows nearly tripled us up with a score of 35.25.
Black Widows
As we say adios to 2022, our coaching staff can reflect on the fantasy season and appreciate all of the ups and the downs that came with it. Okay, well really just 10 ups and six downs, but still... Thanks for spending a great year with us, and here's to 2023!
