Coach Talk

mark's Excellent Team
Nice job assembling a lineup that posted more than 116 points this past week. We took care of business and did what we needed to do.
Not A Clue
Unless Not A Clue wants to go full diva-mode, then "not getting enough chances" isn't really a viable excuse this week. Our trio of pass-catchers (two WR and one TE) collectively received a grand total of 18 targets in Week 16. With just 11 total catches, this group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
