Coach Talk

Tucas
Putting together a lineup that tallied more than 197 points this past week... we consider that to be a job done right.
Axel
Unless Axel wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not seeing enough chances" isn't really a reasonable excuse this week. Our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) were targeted a respectable 34 times in Week 15. With only 18 total receptions, this group may have some chemistry issues.
