Coach Talk

The Dogs of War
Well done, The Dogs of War. Deploying a lineup that won by a whopping 64 points in Week 14.
Dirty Hippies
"Not seeing enough looks" really isn't an excuse this week for Dirty Hippies. As a group, our five pass-catchers (four WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 19 times in Week 14. Chemistry and timing appear to be issues as that group tallied only eight receptions.
