Coach Talk

ACL Tech
We're wondering if the GM of ACL Tech was feeling a bit squeamish this one? In a matchup that was ultimately decided by a mere 1.14 points, Ryan Succop (1-for-2 on the day) decided that going 2-for-2 on field goals would've made the outcome just a bit too dull. Remember folks, every point matters!
Kupp Dez Nuts
Kupp Dez Nuts may find it tough to complain about lack of opportunity this past week. Our trio of pass-catchers (two WR, one TE) were targeted a hearty 14 times in Week 15. Chemistry seems to be the primary problem, as that group pulled down just seven receptions.
