Coach Talk

Ronda's BITCHES!!!
Hey, it's good to be confident, Ronda's BITCHES!!!. Playing not one, not two, but THREE starters with zero points (Anthony Brown, Alec Ogletree, and Eddie Jackson), while still earning the win... that's borderline cocky. We just ask you to please limit those flashy shenanigans to the regular season. Can you imagine how silly we'd look if we let it happen in the playoffs?
Kirk's Team
Unless Kirk's Team wants to go full diva-mode, then "not seeing enough chances" won't cut it as an excuse this week. As a group, our trio of pass-catchers (two WR, one TE) combined to see a whopping 15 targets in Week 16. Chemistry could be the primary problem, as that group reeled in just nine receptions.
