Coach Talk

Dome Patrollers
Deploying a lineup that accounted for over 124 points this past week... we consider that to be a job done right. We should maintain this momentum as we head into a tricky challenge in Week 16.
Purple Mountain
Unless Purple Mountain wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not seeing enough looks" doesn't fly as an excuse this week. As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) were targeted a hearty 25 times in Week 15. With only 15 total catches, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
