Coach Talk

Blue Team
Props to you, Blue Team. Good job fielding a lineup that earned more than 108 points this past matchup.
Unhappy Alliance Losers
Unless Unhappy Alliance Losers wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not getting enough looks" cannot be a reasonable excuse this week. As a group, our trio of pass-catchers (two WR and one TE) were targeted a hearty 22 times in Week 16. With just nine total receptions, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
