Coach Talk

Whoa crazy-crazy 88s
Kudos on deploying a starting crew that netted 121.62 points this past week. We consider that to be a job well done. Let's maintain this momentum as we move on to a tricky matchup in Week 16.
Blitzed!
Blitzed! will find it tough to gripe about lack of opportunity this past week. Our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) were targeted a respectable 23 times in Week 15. Chemistry and timing seem to be issues as that group tallied just 14 receptions.
