Coach Talk

Flying Squirrels
Nice job, Flying Squirrels. Bravo on assembling a lineup that tallied 143.62 points this past matchup. We should maintain this momentum as we move on to our next challenge in Week 16.
3 KiDs
Unless 3 KiDs wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not seeing many looks" cannot be a valid excuse this time around. Our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) were targeted a whopping 44 times in Week 15. Chemistry and timing appear to be issues as that group reeled in only 24 receptions.
