Coach Talk

Mogwai
Good work deploying a lineup that won by nearly 36 points this past week. We deem that to be a job done right.
datwan's Fine Team
Welp, we certainly can't complain about a shortage of opportunities this week, can we? As a group, our pass-catchers (one WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 13 times in Week 16. With just six total catches, that group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
