Coach Talk

NYG
Assembling a lineup that won by 12 points this past week... we consider that to be a job done right. We should tip our cap to the GM of VABoyz, take this W in stride, and continue on our way towards the Blue & Red State Invite 2019 league championship.
VABoyz
Unless VABoyz wants to go full diva-mode, then "not seeing enough opportunities" is definitely not a reasonable excuse this week. As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) collectively received a healthy 36 targets in Week 13. With just 16 total receptions, that group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
