Coach Talk

Meatmonger
Whoa, Meatmonger, you really made a statement to your leaguemates with this shellacking. Not only did you win by 21.58 points, you also climbed a whopping three places in the league standings!
Play
Unless Play wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not getting enough opportunities" cannot be a reasonable excuse this time around. Our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 31 times in Week 14. With just 18 total receptions, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
