Coach Talk

Mucus Revenge
Well, we do appreciate the confidence this past week, Mucus Revenge. It takes moxie to play not one, not two, but THREE starters with zero points (Leonard Fournette, Chris Godwin, and Austin Ekeler), while still getting the win! We just ask you to please limit those flashy shenanigans to the regular season. Can you imagine how silly we'd look if we let it happen in the playoffs?
The Alibi Room
Unless The Alibi Room wants to go full diva-mode, then "not seeing many opportunities" is not an excuse this week. As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) combined to get a grand total of 31 targets in Week 16. With just 18 total receptions, this group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
