Coach Talk

The Soulja
Good work assembling a lineup that won by 26.58 points this past week. We took care of business and did what had to be done.
g-men
Unless g-men wants to go full diva-mode, then "not getting enough opportunities" doesn't fly as an excuse this week. As a group, our pass-catching corps (four WR and one TE) collectively got a grand total of 32 targets in Week 16. With only 16 total receptions, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
