Coach Talk

BerniesBandits
Putting together a lineup that registered more than 195 points this past week... we did what we needed to do and took care of business.
Green Bay Snackers
Unless Green Bay Snackers wants to go full diva-mode, then "not getting enough looks" is not an excuse this time around. Our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) collectively got a respectable 29 targets in Week 15. With only 16 total catches, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
