Coach Talk

A Taste of the Herb
Sure, we ultimately got the win, but we can't deny it, A Taste of the Herb; our wide receivers were utterly outclassed by the opposition. A.J. Green (33 total yards, no TDs) logged only 14.4 points in Week 16. The starting wideouts for GloriouslyVictorious showed us how it's supposed to be done by putting up a score of 37.4.
GloriouslyVictorious
"Not seeing many looks" is definitely not an excuse this week for GloriouslyVictorious. As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) were targeted a respectable 28 times in Week 16. With only 17 total catches, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
