Coach Talk

Star Power
This sport is all about identifying the mismatches. Fueled by a stellar showing by Josh Allen, we thoroughly outplayed My wife's money at the quarterback position this past week (43.66 points to 17.02). Allen went 28-for-40 for 359 yards and two TDs in a 48-19 win over the Broncos.
My wife's money
Unless My wife's money wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not getting enough opportunities" doesn't fly as an excuse this week. Our pass-catching corps (four WR, one TE) combined to get a grand total of 27 targets in Week 15. With just 16 total catches, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
