Coach Talk

DOE4President
You know, football is all about exploiting the mismatches. We really took that to heart this week by doubling up Hail Mary 🙏 at the wide receiver position (55.1 points to 26.3).
Hail Mary 🙏
Unless Hail Mary 🙏 wants to go full diva-mode, then "not getting many opportunities" doesn't fly as an excuse this week. As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) were targeted a healthy 29 times in Week 16. Timing and chemistry seem to be issues as that group reeled in just 17 receptions.
