Coach Talk

kyle's Team
This sport is all about exploiting the mismatches. Fueled by a thrilling display from Jimmy Garoppolo, we absolutely dominated DaphneL's Team at the quarterback position this past week (29.06 points to 11.6). Garoppolo went 26-for-35 for 349 yards, four TDs, and an INT in a 48-46 win over the Saints.
DaphneL's Team
"Not getting enough chances" won't fly as an excuse this week for DaphneL's Team. Our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) collectively got a hearty 24 targets in Week 14. Chemistry appears to be the primary issue, as that group managed just 14 catches.
