Coach Talk

Bob's Brilliant Team
Hey, this sport is all about finding the mismatches. Thanks to a sound outing from Aaron Rodgers, we doubled up THOMAS's Terrific Team at the quarterback position this past week (19.98 points to 9.54). Rodgers went 24-for-34 for 202 yards and three TDs (plus no INTs) in a two-point win over the Browns.
THOMAS's Terrific Team
Unless THOMAS's Terrific Team wants to go full diva-mode, then "not seeing many looks" cannot be a reasonable excuse this week. As a group, our trio of pass-catchers (two WR, one TE) were targeted a whopping 23 times in Week 16. Chemistry and timing appear to be issues as that group hauled in just 13 balls.
