Coach Talk

MFT
Good job deploying a lineup that won by more than 20 points this past week. We consider that to be a job well done.
Forever Unclean
Welp, we certainly can't whine about a lack of opportunities this week, can we? Our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) collectively saw a grand total of 28 targets in Week 16. Timing and chemistry seem to be issues as that group hauled in only 17 balls.
