Coach Talk

My New Cheesecloth
Deploying a lineup that won by 15.48 points this past week... we consider that to be a job done right.
Marry Our Cousins!
Unless Marry Our Cousins! wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not getting many looks" isn't really an excuse this time around. As a group, our five pass-catchers (three WR, two TE) were targeted a grand total of 30 times in Week 16. Chemistry could be an issue, as that group pulled down only 18 receptions.
