Coach Talk

The Dog House
You know, the key to football is taking advantage of the mismatches. Not only did we double up Blue Skywalker at RB (57.8 points to 25.6), we also almost quadrupled them at QB (27.54 to 7.3).
Blue Skywalker
Unless Blue Skywalker wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not seeing many opportunities" isn't really a viable excuse this week. Our pass-catching corps (two WR and one TE) were targeted a respectable 27 times in Week 15. Timing and chemistry seem to be issues as that group reeled in only 14 balls.
