Coach Talk

The Placebo Arm
Deploying a lineup that won by nearly 29 points this past week... we did what we had to do and took care of business.
El Chupacabras
"Not seeing many looks" is definitely not a viable excuse this week for El Chupacabras. As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 17 times in Week 14. Chemistry could be an issue, as that group hauled in just six balls.
