Coach Talk

t k's Outstanding Team
Listen, t k's Outstanding Team, we certainly appreciate the confidence. It takes real moxie to field a starter with negative points (plus a zero-point player) while still getting a win.
lyndsay's Awesome Team
lyndsay's Awesome Team may find it tough to gripe about lack of opportunity this past week. Our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) were targeted a whopping 21 times in Week 16. Timing and chemistry appear to be issues as that group hauled in just 10 receptions.
