Coach Talk

Fudgems
Hey, it's good to be confident, Fudgems. It's a bold move to deploy a player with zero points (Vonn Bell), while still earning the W.
The Usurpers
"Not seeing many looks" really isn't an excuse this week for The Usurpers. Our five pass-catchers (four WR, one TE) were targeted a whopping 27 times in Week 15. Timing and chemistry appear to be issues as that group recorded just 16 catches.
