Coach Talk

Daniel's Team
Nice job assembling a lineup that won by over 18 points this past week. We took care of business and did what had to be done.
BlaQ Owt!
Unless BlaQ Owt! wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not getting many chances" doesn't fly as an excuse this time around. Our trio of pass-catchers (two WR, one TE) collectively received a grand total of 33 targets in Week 16. With just 19 total catches, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
