Coach Talk

Thawne
Nice job, Thawne. Props on fielding a lineup that recorded more than 529 points in Week 15.
BiG Cheesy!!
Unless BiG Cheesy!! wants to go full diva-mode, then "not seeing enough looks" doesn't fly as an excuse this week. Our pass-catching corps (four WR and one TE) were targeted a whopping 44 times in Week 15. Chemistry could be the primary problem, as that group notched only 26 catches.
