Coach Talk

brian's Nifty Team
Way to live up to that squad nickname! With a winning margin of 79.24 points this past week, the GM for brian's Nifty Team assembled a starting lineup that was indeed, quite nifty.
Sir Gregor
Unless Sir Gregor wants to go full diva-mode, then "not getting many looks" is not an excuse this week. As a group, our pass-catching corps (two WR and one TE) combined to get a healthy 21 targets in Week 16. With only four total catches, that group may have some chemistry issues.
