Coach Talk

C the Priest
Kudos to you, C the Priest. Nice job deploying a lineup that tallied 3,210 points this past matchup. We should maintain this momentum as we head into our Week 15 matchup.
StairwayToSeven
Unless StairwayToSeven wants to go full diva-mode, then "not getting many chances" doesn't fly as an excuse this time around. As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 17 times in Week 14. With just 10 total catches, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
