Coach Talk

High Fives
Well done, High Fives. Good work fielding a lineup that netted over 104 points this past week.
Rebellion
Unless Rebellion wants to go full diva-mode, then "not getting enough looks" can't be an excuse this time around. Our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) collectively got a grand total of 28 targets in Week 16. With only 17 total catches, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
