Coach Talk

Superbad
Kudos to you, Superbad. Good job assembling a lineup that blew the competition out by a whopping 87 points in Week 16.
DOOM
Unless DOOM wants to go full diva-mode, then "not seeing many chances" is not an excuse this time around. Our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) collectively got a hearty 19 targets in Week 16. Chemistry could be the primary issue, as that group pulled down just 11 receptions.
