Coach Talk

PATRIOTS RULE
Kudos to you, PATRIOTS RULE. Assembling a lineup that won by a whopping 66.5 points this past week.
Winged Helmets 5
Winged Helmets 5 will find it tough to gripe about lack of opportunity this past week. Our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) were targeted a grand total of 28 times in Week 17. Chemistry and timing seem to be issues as that group recorded only 17 catches.
