Coach Talk

I Heart Chiavettas
Here's a list of scenarios where it's (borderline) excusable to go 0-for-2 in sports: A hitter's line in baseball, a pair of DeAndre Jordan free throws, and a double-fault in tennis. That's basically it. Going 0-for-2 on field goal attempts this past week? Sounds like Chris Boswell might be kicking himself back into the free agent pool after this effort.
98 DarkPink Balloons
"Not seeing enough opportunities" really isn't an excuse this week for 98 DarkPink Balloons. Our five pass-catchers (four WR, one TE) combined to get a healthy 33 targets in Week 14. Those players might need to spend more time with the JUGS machine, considering they hauled in just 18 catches.
