Coach Talk

SKOL!
Props on assembling a lineup that won by a whopping 52.52 points this past week. We consider that to be a job done right. Let's tip our cap to the GM of Alicia's Team, take this win in stride, and continue marching forward to the South vs North league title.
Alicia's Team
Unless Alicia's Team wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not getting many opportunities" won't cut it as an excuse this time around. Our five pass-catchers (four WR and one TE) collectively saw a whopping 30 targets in Week 15. With only 16 total receptions, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
