Coach Talk

Under Performers
The key to success in football is creating mismatches. Thanks to a stellar showing by Tom Brady, we doubled up BucTowN at the quarterback position this past week (33.62 points to 15.18). Brady went 27-for-43 for 358 yards and three TDs (plus no INTs) in a 34-33 loss to the Dolphins.
BucTowN
Unless BucTowN wants to go full diva-mode, then "not seeing many looks" is not a valid excuse this time around. As a group, our five pass-catchers (four WR and one TE) collectively got a grand total of 21 targets in Week 14. With just 11 total catches, this group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
