Coach Talk

Decade Doowop
Sure, we ultimately got the win, but we can't deny it, Decade Doowop: our quarterback was utterly outmatched this past week. Our one signal-callers combined for only 9.86 points in Week 16, while the QBs for ChiTownMonsters doubled us up with a score of 23.76.
ChiTownMonsters
Well, we can't really complain about a lack of opportunities this time, can we? As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) were targeted a healthy 25 times in Week 16. Chemistry and timing appear to be issues as that group recorded only 15 catches.
