Coach Talk

Oilers
Putting together a lineup that registered over 120 points this past week... we took care of business and did what we had to do.
Putter Gal
Unless Putter Gal wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not getting many opportunities" doesn't fly as an excuse this week. As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) collectively received a grand total of 29 targets in Week 15. Chemistry seems to be the primary issue, as that group notched just 17 receptions.
