Coach Talk

DeeVeeDee Sheep
Hey, creating mismatches is the key to football, right? Fueled by a solid display from Josh Allen, we thoroughly outplayed New Calvinists at the quarterback position this past week (40.96 points to 14.9). Allen went 30-for-47 for 314 yards and three TDs (plus no INTs) in a 33-21 victory over the Patriots.
New Calvinists
Welp, we certainly can't complain about a shortage of opportunities this time, can we? Our five pass-catchers (four WR, one TE) collectively got a respectable 28 targets in Week 16. Those players might need to spend more time with the JUGS machine, considering they recorded only 14 receptions.
