Coach Talk

Buffalo Bombers
Hey, this sport is all about exploiting the mismatches, right? Along with almost quadrupling Amazeballs at QB (40.08 points to 10.42), we also utterly dominated them at RB (53.7 to 9.2).
Amazeballs
Unless Amazeballs wants to go full diva-mode, then "not getting many chances" is definitely not an excuse this week. Our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) were targeted a whopping 19 times in Week 15. With just 11 total receptions, this group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
