Coach Talk

Poldi Steelers
Well, we do admire the confidence this past week, Poldi Steelers. It takes a certain kind of guts to start a player with zero points (Bo Scarbrough), while still earning the win.
Aither's Team
Unless Aither's Team wants to go full diva-mode, then "not getting many looks" is definitely not a reasonable excuse this week. As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) were targeted a grand total of 30 times in Week 15. Those players might need to hit the practice field, considering they tallied just 15 catches.
