Coach Talk

Ligers
We do appreciate the confidence this past week, Ligers. Starting a player with zero points (Demaryius Thomas), while still getting the W... that's borderline arrogant! We just ask you to please keep that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the regular season. Can you imagine how silly we'd look if we let it happen in the playoffs?
GoldDiggers
"Not seeing many opportunities" can't be a reasonable excuse this week for GoldDiggers. As a group, our pass-catching corps (four WR, one TE) were targeted a grand total of 24 times in Week 11. With just 12 total receptions, that group may have some chemistry issues.
