Coach Talk

Cecil's Valar
Assembling a lineup that earned 180.76 points this past week... we consider that to be a job well done.
Elric's Arksters
Well, we can't really gripe about a lack of opportunities this week, can we? As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 37 times in Week 15. With just 21 total catches, that group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
