Coach Talk

Long live Team KLB
Listen Long live Team KLB, we're "glass half full" kind of coaches. While some may harp on the fact that our scoring output has declined a bit lately, we'll choose to spin this in a positive direction. Averaging 126.89 points through Week 14, our crew has definitely proven that it's even stronger than the 123.81 we needed to win this past week!
Team Fabs
Unless Team Fabs wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not getting enough chances" won't cut it as an excuse this week. Our trio of pass-catchers (two WR and one TE) combined to see a grand total of 23 targets in Week 15. Chemistry and timing appear to be issues as that group recorded only 14 catches.
