Coach Talk

Freakazoids
Sure, we ultimately got the win, but there's really no way sugarcoat this, Freakazoids: our starting quarterback was significantly outmatched this past week. Our one men under center combined for only 10.14 points in Week 16, while the QBs for Top Gun doubled us up with a score of 21.32.
Top Gun
Producing only three catches on five targets this past week, it appears that the starting running backs for Top Gun should work to smooth things over with their QBs... and remind them to start checking down more often.
