Coach Talk

Wish A MF Would
You know, the key to football is spotting the mismatches. Not only did we double up Square357 at WR (75 points to 35), we also thoroughly dominated them at QB (47 points to 6).
Square357
Unless Square357 wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not getting enough looks" is not an excuse this week. As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) were targeted a grand total of 37 times in Week 15. With just 22 total receptions, that group may have some chemistry issues.
