Coach Talk

Watching the Throne
Bravo on deploying a starting crew that won by almost 17 points this past week. We deem that to be a job well done.
Whiteyz Whompers
Well, we certainly can't whine about a lack of opportunities this week, can we? As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) were targeted a grand total of 27 times in Week 15. Chemistry appears to be the primary problem, as that group pulled down only 14 receptions.
