Coach Talk

~Red & White~
Talk about a bounce-back! The GM of ~Red & White~ shrugged off their two-game winless streak by logging a whopping 302.25 points this past week.
nucks
Unless nucks wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not getting enough looks" is definitely not an excuse this time around. Our five pass-catchers (four WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 40 times in Week 14. With only 24 total catches, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
