Coach Talk

todd's Team
You know todd's Team, I'm a glass-half-full kind of coach. While some may harp on the fact that our scoring output has slipped lately, I'll choose to spin this in a positive direction. Averaging 600.32 points through Week 13, our crew has shown it's more than capable of outperforming the 524.16 we needed to win this past week!
Easy Money
"Not seeing many opportunities" won't be a reasonable excuse this week for Easy Money. Our seven pass-catchers (six WR, one TE) collectively received a grand total of 51 targets in Week 14. With only 28 total receptions, that group may have some chemistry issues.
