Coach Talk

Bitch Slappers
Kudos to you, Bitch Slappers. Deploying a lineup that recorded more than 38 points in Week 16.
Joshua's Team
Unless Joshua's Team wants to go full diva-mode, then "not seeing enough looks" isn't really a reasonable excuse this time around. Our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) were targeted a healthy 38 times in Week 16. Those players should participate in some additional timing drills with their QBs, considering they hauled in only 20 balls.
