Coach Talk

MGKVSBRD
Mission accomplished, MGKVSBRD. Assembling a team that earned nearly 97 points this past week.
NOICE.
Well, we certainly can't gripe about a lack of opportunities this time, can we? As a group, our pass-catching corps (two WR and one TE) were targeted a hearty 21 times in Week 16. Chemistry and timing appear to be issues as that group reeled in only 13 catches.
