Coach Talk

Off to Grandma!
Earning the win is most important, Off to Grandma!, but we certainly know of one spot where we can get better as a team; our QB was thoroughly outclassed this past week. Our one signal-callers combined for only 3.95 points in Week 16, while the QBs for Ditka Naybox showed us up by recording a score of 28.8.
Ditka Naybox
Well, we can't really gripe about a shortage of opportunities this time, can we? As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) collectively received a whopping 35 targets in Week 16. With just 21 total catches, that group may have some chemistry issues.
