Coach Talk

Marc's Genius Team
Deploying a starting crew that won by 15 points this past week... we took care of business and did what we had to do. We should tip our cap to the GM of Ryan's Rad Team, take this W in stride, and continue on our way towards the DfL league title.
Ryan's Rad Team
Unless Ryan's Rad Team wants to go full diva-mode, then "not seeing many chances" is not an excuse this week. Our pass-catching corps (two WR, one TE) collectively got a grand total of 19 targets in Week 1. Chemistry appears to be a problem, as that group hauled in just 10 receptions.
