Coach Talk

Burt Bombers
Sure, we ultimately got the win, but there's not really any other way to put it, Burt Bombers. Our quarterback was severely outmatched by the opposition. Patrick Mahomes went 23-of-30 for 258 yards and three touchdowns for Disnerds, and all Matthew Stafford could produce was a 21-for-37 day, with 197 yards and one passing TD (plus three ugly interceptions).
Disnerds
Unless Disnerds wants to go full diva-mode, then "not seeing many opportunities" doesn't fly as an excuse this week. As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) collectively saw a grand total of 30 targets in Week 16. With only 17 total receptions, that group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
