Coach Talk

Go bucs2
Hey, it's good to be confident, Go bucs2. Playing not one, not two, but 12 starters with zero points while still earning a win... that's playing with fire! All we ask is to please keep those flashy shenanigans to the regular season. Try it when the postseason rolls around, and we'll be finished.
Dean's Dazzling Team
"Not seeing enough opportunities" shouldn't really be an excuse this week for Dean's Dazzling Team. Our pass-catching corps (four WR and one TE) combined to get a whopping 24 targets in Week 14. Chemistry and timing appear to be issues as that group recorded only 14 receptions.
