Coach Talk

Suck My Ditka!
Nice work, Suck My Ditka!. Deploying a lineup that netted over 138 points this past week.
Comeback Kid
Unless Comeback Kid wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not seeing many opportunities" isn't really a reasonable excuse this week. As a group, our pass-catching corps (four WR, one TE) combined to see a whopping 32 targets in Week 15. Chemistry seems to be an issue, as that group hauled in just 16 receptions.
