Coach Talk

Black Flag
Good work, Black Flag. Bravo on fielding a lineup that nearly earned 197 points this past matchup.
Lumberjacks
Unless Lumberjacks wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not getting many opportunities" is definitely not an excuse this week. Our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) collectively saw a grand total of 31 targets in Week 15. Chemistry and timing appear to be issues as that group recorded just 19 catches.
