Coach Talk

Evil Empire
Earning the win is most important, Evil Empire, but we've also identified one spot where we should improve as a team. Our starting quarterback was significantly overmatched by the opposition. Our one signal-callers combined for only 5.5 points in Week 16, and the QBs for Dak To The Future showed us how it's supposed to be done by putting up a score of 33.98.
Dak To The Future
Unless Dak To The Future wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not seeing many opportunities" cannot be an excuse this time around. Our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) were targeted a respectable 31 times in Week 16. Chemistry and timing appear to be issues as that group hauled in only 12 catches.
