Coach Talk

Shalabajzeri
Wow, Shalabajzeri, you put the rest of the league on notice with this shellacking. In addition to a 39-point victory, you also climbed from seventh place to fifth in the league standings... directly into the thick of playoff contention
Fools and Horses
Welp, we can't really gripe about a shortage of opportunities this time, can we? As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) collectively got a whopping 20 targets in Week 14. Chemistry and timing appear to be issues as that group reeled in just 12 catches.
