Coach Talk

C the Priest
Good job deploying a starting crew that won by 102 points this past week. We consider that to be a job done right.
Chiefs 205
Unless Chiefs 205 wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not getting enough opportunities" isn't really an excuse this time around. Our pass-catching corps (two WR and two TE) were targeted a grand total of 23 times in Week 16. Chemistry could be the primary issue, as that group hauled in only 14 catches.
