Coach Talk

Abominable Tardigrades
Well done, Abominable Tardigrades. Fielding a team that won by over 27 points in Week 16.
HURTS like HALL
Unless HURTS like HALL wants to go full diva-mode, then "not getting enough opportunities" is not a reasonable excuse this week. As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) were targeted a hearty 19 times in Week 16. With only nine total catches, that group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
