Coach Talk

PoPdatTrunk
Nice job assembling a lineup that accounted for 141.56 points this past week. We consider that to be a job well done.
Take what ya can....
Unless Take what ya can.... wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not getting many opportunities" doesn't fly as an excuse this week. Our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 31 times in Week 16. With only 19 total catches, that group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
