Coach Talk

Buck WIld
Now that's what we call righting the ship! The GM of Buck WIld shrugged off their four-game losing streak by putting up a tremendous 114.2 points this past week.
ZERO DEGREES
"Not seeing enough opportunities" isn't a viable excuse this week for ZERO DEGREES. Our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) combined to receive a hearty 26 targets in Week 15. Those players might need to get some extra reps with the JUGS machine, considering they reeled in only 16 receptions.
