Coach Talk

Sad Sacks
Sure, we ultimately got the win, but we can't deny it, Sad Sacks. Our running backs were severely outplayed by the opposition. Buoyed by Wendell Smallwood (zero total yards, no TDs) and Reggie Bonnafon (12 yards, no TDs), our six RBs combined for just 26 points in Week 16, and the starting backfield for The wtf team showed us how it's supposed to be done by putting up a score of 67.
The wtf team
Unless The wtf team wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not getting many opportunities" can't be a viable excuse this time around. As a group, our nine pass-catchers (six WR, three TE) collectively got a respectable 41 targets in Week 16. Chemistry seems to be the primary problem, as that group recorded only 24 receptions.
