Coach Talk

JR's Dazzling Team
You know JR's Dazzling Team, I'm a glass-half-full kind of coach. While others may harp on the fact that our scoring output has declined a bit recently, I'll choose to take the optimistic route. Averaging 652.74 points through Week 13, our crew has shown it's certainly capable of outperforming the 305.7 we needed to win this past week!
Jay's Swag Team
"Not seeing enough opportunities" isn't an excuse this week for Jay's Swag Team. As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) combined to get a whopping 22 targets in Week 14. With just 13 total receptions, that group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
