Coach Talk

Pure Winners
Sure, we ultimately got the win, but there's really no other way to put it, Pure Winners. Our starting QB was utterly overmatched by the opposition. Justin Herbert went 27-of-35 for 336 yards and one touchdowns for Nuttkrakkaz, and all Matthew Stafford could muster was a 21-for-37 day, with 197 yards, one TD, and three ugly interceptions.
Nuttkrakkaz
Unless Nuttkrakkaz wants to go full diva-mode, then "not seeing many looks" is definitely not an excuse this time around. Our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 21 times in Week 16. Chemistry appears to be an issue, as that group hauled in only 12 catches.
