Coach Talk

Derek's Definitive Team
Assembling a lineup that won by over 45 points this past week... we deem that to be a job well done. We should keep this momentum rolling as we move on to what will surely be a difficult matchup in Week 14.
Anthony's First-Rate Team
Unless Anthony's First-Rate Team wants to go full diva-mode, then "not seeing many looks" is definitely not a viable excuse this time around. Our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) collectively saw a respectable 32 targets in Week 13. Timing and chemistry seem to be issues as that group recorded only 19 receptions.
