Coach Talk

BLESS 'EM
Hey, we do appreciate the confidence this past week, BLESS 'EM. It's a bold move to deploy a starter with zero points (Emmanuel Sanders), while still getting a win. Try that type of flashy, show-off stuff next week and we'll be toast.
Lone Star
Well, we can't really gripe about a shortage of opportunities this time, can we? Our five pass-catchers (four WR, one TE) collectively saw a respectable 23 targets in Week 15. Those players might need to hit the practice field, considering they hauled in just 14 balls.
