Coach Talk

Midway Monsters
Hey, we admire the confidence, Midway Monsters. Playing not one, but TWO starters with zero points (Ronnie Harrison and Greg Olsen), while still getting a win... that's playing with fire. We just ask you to please keep those flashy shenanigans to the regular season. Try it when the postseason rolls around, and we'll be toast.
Kibbles N Fitz
Unless Kibbles N Fitz wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not getting many opportunities" is definitely not a valid excuse this week. As a group, our pass-catching corps (four WR, one TE) were targeted a healthy 31 times in Week 14. With just 18 total receptions, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
