Coach Talk

beast's Expert Team
Listen, beast's Expert Team, we do certainly appreciate the confidence. Deploying a player with zero points (Travis Kelce), while still getting the W... talk about arrogant! We just ask you to please keep those flashy shenanigans to the regular season. Try it when the postseason rolls around, and we're done.
danny's Standout Team
Welp, we certainly can't complain about a lack of opportunities this week, can we? As a group, our pass-catching corps (two WR, one TE) were targeted a hearty 15 times in Week 16. Chemistry seems to be the primary problem, as that group notched only nine catches.
