Coach Talk

Summerlin
Sure, we ultimately earned the win, but we can't deny it, Summerlin. Our QB was clearly outplayed by the opposition. Our one guys under center combined for just 6.5 points in Week 16, and the QBs for Jeremy's Champion Team nearly quadrupled us with a score of 24.98.
Jeremy's Champion Team
Unless Jeremy's Champion Team wants to go full diva-mode, then "not getting enough chances" doesn't fly as an excuse this time around. As a group, our trio of pass-catchers (two WR, one TE) collectively saw a whopping 27 targets in Week 16. Timing and chemistry appear to be issues as that group managed just 12 receptions.
