Coach Talk

King Cobras
Hey, this sport is all about spotting (and then exploiting) the mismatches. Thanks to an awesome outing by Joe Burrow, we doubled up Wish A MF Would at the quarterback position this past week (55 points to 27). Burrow torched the Chiefs secondary by logging 446 yards and four passing touchdowns.
Wish A MF Would
Unless Wish A MF Would wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not seeing many opportunities" isn't really an excuse this week. Our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) collectively saw a grand total of 41 targets in Week 17. With only 25 total catches, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
