Coach Talk

Blazin Blitzers
Nice work, Blazin Blitzers. Putting together a lineup that won by a whopping 36 points in Week 15... we'll take this W in stride, tip our hat to the GM of LUNATIC FRINGE, and continue the march towards the League of Legends title.
LUNATIC FRINGE
Unless LUNATIC FRINGE wants to go full diva-mode, then "not getting many opportunities" isn't really a viable excuse this time around. Our five pass-catchers (four WR and one TE) collectively got a healthy 29 targets in Week 15. With only 17 total receptions, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
