Coach Talk

Blitzburg
Bravo, Blitzburg. Nice job fielding a lineup that blew the opposition out by over 31 points this past week. We should tip our cap to the GM of Dirty Birds, take this victory in stride, and continue pushing forward to a fantasy championship.
Dirty Birds
Unless Dirty Birds wants to go full diva-mode, then "not getting enough chances" is definitely not an excuse this time around. As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 26 times in Week 13. With only 15 total catches, this group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
