Coach Talk

I'm a Man I'm Forte!
Mission accomplished, I'm a Man I'm Forte!. Nice job fielding a lineup that blew the competition out by nearly 43 points in Week 16.
Awesome Excellent
Unless Awesome Excellent wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not getting many opportunities" is not an excuse this time around. Our trio of pass-catchers (two WR, one TE) collectively got a grand total of 24 targets in Week 16. With just 12 total catches, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
