Coach Talk

Hangovers
Earning the win is most important, Hangovers, but we've also identified one spot where we should improve as a team... our QB was utterly outplayed by the opposition. Jared Goff went 35-of-54 for 339 yards and zero touchdowns for DARC NARC, and all Cam Newton could produce was a 16-for-29 outing for 131 passing yards. Let's bounce back with a big statement in Week 16!
DARC NARC
There's a possibility that DARC NARC would be a better talent scout in the NFL than in fantasy football. Seeing just five total targets in Week 15, their three wide receivers apparently spent most of their games blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
