Coach Talk

Brad P's Bold Team
Hey now, talk about living up to that squad nickname! With a winning margin of 57.76 points this past week, the GM for Brad P's Bold Team assembled a starting roster that was quite bold, indeed.
Catch 22
Unless Catch 22 wants to go full diva-mode, then "not seeing many opportunities" doesn't fly as an excuse this time around. As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) collectively received a grand total of 28 targets in Week 16. Timing and chemistry appear to be issues as that group pulled down just 12 receptions.
