Coach Talk

Lords of Burttown
Bravo, Lords of Burttown. Putting together a team that earned 125.75 points this past matchup.
Chicken Dinner
Unless Chicken Dinner wants to go full diva-mode, then "not getting many looks" isn't really a reasonable excuse this week. Our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) collectively received a grand total of 30 targets in Week 16. Timing and chemistry seem to be issues as that group recorded only 18 receptions.
