Coach Talk

Oleole Bombardes
Hey, we admire the confidence, Oleole Bombardes. It's a bold move to deploy a starter with zero points (Eno Benjamin), while still earning a win.
Grand Yellow Jackets
Unless Grand Yellow Jackets wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not seeing enough opportunities" isn't really a reasonable excuse this time around. Our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) collectively got a grand total of 28 targets in Week 15. Chemistry could be an issue, as that group pulled down only 17 receptions.
