Coach Talk

Fail of the Draft
These types of narrow victories are paramount for the locker room. Persevering through trials and tribulations, and triumphing in the face of adversity... expect the Fail of the Draft team chemistry to be stronger than ever entering Week 16.
PACKERS Brno
Unless PACKERS Brno wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not seeing enough chances" cannot be a reasonable excuse this week. As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) collectively got a grand total of 25 targets in Week 15. Timing and chemistry appear to be issues as that group pulled down just 13 balls.
