Coach Talk

Ralph's Reasonable Team
Countless hours in the film room and on the practice field. 11 guys in the huddle, all on the same page. Every single route, every single throw, meticulously planned and flawlessly executed. The outcome? A solid 25 completions on 31 attempts... good enough for an 81 percent completion percentage for Joe Burrow this past week. That Chiefs secondary didn't know what hit 'em!.
TonyM's Terrific Team
Unless TonyM's Terrific Team wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not getting many looks" is not a valid excuse this week. Our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) were targeted a grand total of 28 times in Week 13. Chemistry seems to be an issue, as that group pulled down just 16 catches.
