Coach Talk

TheDeadRabbits
Well done, TheDeadRabbits. Nice work fielding a starting crew that posted 134.46 points in Week 16.
Valar Morghulis
Valar Morghulis will find it tough to gripe about lack of opportunity this past week. Our trio of pass-catchers (two WR and one TE) collectively got a whopping 25 targets in Week 16. Chemistry and timing appear to be issues as that group pulled down just 12 receptions.
