Coach Talk

Buccaneers
Good work, Buccaneers. Props on deploying a starting crew that nearly recorded 141 points in Week 15.
The Pahrump Pigeons
Well, we certainly can't whine about a shortage of opportunities this week, can we? As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) combined to see a whopping 26 targets in Week 15. Timing and chemistry appear to be issues as that group reeled in only 12 receptions.
