Coach Talk

The Replacements
Well, we do applaud the confidence this past week, The Replacements. It takes guts to roll out a starter with negative points (Stevan Ridley) while still getting a win. All we ask is to please limit those shenanigans to the regular season. Try it in the playoffs and we're toast.
BallGrabbers
Well, we certainly can't whine about a lack of opportunities this week, can we? As a group, our trio of pass-catchers (two WR and one TE) collectively got a grand total of 13 targets in Week 16. With just seven total receptions, that group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
