Coach Talk

Free Ballin’
We're wondering if the GM of Free Ballin’ was feeling a bit squeamish this one? In a matchup that was ultimately decided by only 1.2 points, Michael Badgley (2-of-3 on the day) decided that going 3-for-3 on field goals just wouldn't have been exciting enough. Remember folks, every point matters!
MrAwesome'sMoMo's
"Not seeing enough chances" is definitely not a reasonable excuse this week for MrAwesome'sMoMo's. As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) collectively got a grand total of 35 targets in Week 15. With just 21 total catches, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
