Coach Talk

Flying Unicorns
Props on deploying a lineup that produced 116.69 points this past week. We consider that to be a job done right.
Calvin Tulips
Calvin Tulips may find it tough to complain about lack of opportunity this past week. Our trio of pass-catchers (two WR and one TE) collectively received a grand total of 21 targets in Week 15. Chemistry and timing appear to be issues as that group hauled in just 10 balls.
