Coach Talk

bladen's Unreal Team
Props on assembling a lineup that registered more than 33 points this past week. We did what was needed and took care of business.
LongShotzz
Unless LongShotzz wants to go full diva-mode, then "not seeing enough looks" is not a reasonable excuse this week. Our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) collectively received a hearty 21 targets in Week 15. With only 12 total catches, that group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
