Stacey's Super Team
Earning the win is most important, Stacey's Super Team, but we've also identified one spot where we can improve as a team. Our wide receivers were utterly outplayed this past week. Our receiving corps produced only 6.9 points in Week 14. The pass-catchers on Brian's Team showed us how it's supposed to be done by putting up a score of 34.8. Let's sweet-talk the QB to get some more targets in Week 15!

Here's a list of sports scenarios where it's excusable to go 0-for-2: A double-fault in tennis, a hitter's line in baseball, and a pair of DeAndre Jordan free throws. That's basically it. Going 0-for-2 on field goal attempts this past week? Sounds like Wil Lutz may have just toe-bashed himself to the waiver wire after that sort of performance.
