Coach Talk

Man Called Sting
Nice job assembling a lineup that tallied 152 points this past week. We consider that to be a job well done.
MIGHTY FN MIDGETS
Unless MIGHTY FN MIDGETS wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not getting enough opportunities" can't be a valid excuse this time around. Our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) collectively got a grand total of 24 targets in Week 16. With only 14 total catches, that group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
