Coach Talk

gilligan
Kudos to you, gilligan. Assembling a lineup that recorded over 499 points in Week 17.
the witch doctor
Unless the witch doctor wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not seeing enough chances" won't cut it as an excuse this week. Our six pass-catchers (five WR, one TE) collectively got a grand total of 38 targets in Week 17. With just 22 total receptions, that group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
