Coach Talk

Fear & Loathing DYT
Putting together a lineup that won by almost 46 points this past week... we consider that to be a job done right.
Tiffin Express
Unless Tiffin Express wants to go full diva-mode, then "not seeing enough opportunities" doesn't fly as an excuse this time around. Our pass-catching corps (two WR and one TE) were targeted a whopping 25 times in Week 15. With just 13 total receptions, this group may have some chemistry issues.
