Coach Talk

The WhoaWhoa Dynasty
Nice work this past week, The WhoaWhoa Dynasty! We'll give thanks for this bountiful victory, and now shift our attention towards a tough challenge in M0nStEr bLiTz.
VinSanity
Unless VinSanity wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not getting many opportunities" is not a reasonable excuse this week. As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) were targeted a grand total of 26 times in Week 12. With only 16 total catches, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
