Coach Talk

Double Tap Kap
Getting the win is most important, Double Tap Kap, but we do know of one spot where we should improve as a team. Our wide receivers were significantly outmatched by the opposition. Buoyed by a Keenan Allen goose-egg and Josh Gordon (19 yards, no TDs), our three WRs combined for only 16 points in Week 15. The starting wideouts for I'll Cut 2 the Chase doubled us up with a score of 35. We need to bounce back with a big statement in Week 16!
I'll Cut 2 the Chase
Unless I'll Cut 2 the Chase wants to go full diva-mode, then "not seeing many chances" cannot be a reasonable excuse this week. As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) were targeted a grand total of 30 times in Week 15. Chemistry appears to be an issue, as that group tallied just 15 receptions.
