Coach Talk

Ballers
Hey, now that's the sort of display we like to see! A staggering 28 completions on 29 attempts for Philip Rivers this past week. Quality *and* quantity! The Cardinals defense didn't see it coming! We know the manager of Ballers has got to be grateful for that efficiency and attention to detail.
You down with JPP?
Unless You down with JPP? wants to go full diva-mode, then "not seeing enough opportunities" doesn't fly as an excuse this week. As a group, our pass-catching corps (two WR, one TE) were targeted a grand total of 18 times in Week 12. Chemistry seems to be a problem, as that group managed only nine receptions.
