Coach Talk

Lone Star
Hey, we'll definitely take the win, Lone Star! Having said that, if we want to ramp our performance up to the next level, then here's one area where we can improve: our QBs were utterly outmatched this past week. Our two signal-callers combined for just 11.68 points in Week 15, while the QBs for Skyedog KC's Team nearly quadrupled us with a score of 44.6.
Skyedog KC's Team
Unless Skyedog KC's Team wants to go full diva-mode, then "not getting many chances" doesn't fly as an excuse this week. As a group, our five pass-catchers (four WR and one TE) collectively saw a healthy 28 targets in Week 15. With just 14 total receptions, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
