Coach Talk

Robert's Reasonable Team
Putting together a lineup that netted 139.56 points this past week... we deem that to be a job well done.
PittSteel88
Unless PittSteel88 wants to go full diva-mode, then "not seeing many chances" can't be an excuse this time around. Our trio of pass-catchers (two WR, one TE) were targeted a whopping 27 times in Week 16. With only 14 total catches, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
