Coach Talk

duckman's Quality Team
Nice work assembling a starting crew that netted almost 136 points this past week. We consider that to be a job well done. We should keep this momentum going as we head into what should be a winnable Week 15 matchup.
Richard's Reasonable Team
Unless Richard's Reasonable 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 and one TE) were targeted a hearty 10 times in Week 14. With only four total catches, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
