Coach Talk

Devildog's Team
Well, we do applaud the confidence this past week, Devildog's Team. Starting a player with negative points (plus a zero-point player) while still earning the win... that's playing with fire. All we ask is to please keep those shenanigans to the regular season. Try it in the playoffs and we're toast.
Lisa's Best Team
Unless Lisa's Best Team wants to go full diva-mode, then "not seeing many looks" isn't really a reasonable excuse this week. Our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) were targeted a healthy 22 times in Week 16. With only 11 total catches, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
