Coach Talk

John's Wide Receiver
Hey, we'll definitely take the win, John's Wide Receiver! Having said that, if we want to take our performance to the next level, then we have found an area to improve. Our QB was clearly outplayed by the opposition. Our one signal-callers combined for only 8.1 points in Week 16, and the QBs for Magical Skol Bus doubled us up with a score of 19.66.
Magical Skol Bus
Well, we can't really whine about a shortage of opportunities this week, can we? As a group, our three wide receivers collectively saw a hearty 20 targets in Week 16. With only eight total catches, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
