Coach Talk

Stator Hater
Deploying a lineup that produced almost 93 points this past week... we did what we had to do and took care of business.
Muscle Hamsters
"Not getting many looks" really isn't an excuse this week for Muscle Hamsters. Our trio of pass-catchers (two WR and one TE) combined to get a grand total of 20 targets in Week 16. With just seven total receptions, this group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
