Coach Talk

Ruthless mopar
You know what, Ruthless mopar, we do certainly admire the confidence. Starting not one, but TWO players with zero points (Emmanuel Sanders and O.J. Howard), while still getting the win... that's playing with fire. All we ask is to please limit 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?
Dork Elvis
Well, we certainly can't whine about a shortage of opportunities this week, can we? Our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 23 times in Week 16. With just 14 total receptions, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
