Coach Talk

5Fingers2YoFace
Bravo, 5Fingers2YoFace. Nice job deploying a starting crew that won by more than 29 points this past matchup. Let's tip our cap to the GM of big diesel, take this win in stride, and continue pushing forward to the Aaron's Boys league championship.

Welp, we can't really whine about a lack of opportunities this time, can we? Our pass-catching corps (five WR, one TE) collectively got a grand total of 51 targets in Week 14. Those players should spend extra practice time working with their QBs, considering they tallied just 28 receptions.
