Coach Talk

Murrays Manglers
You know what, Murrays Manglers, we do certainly respect the confidence. Starting not one, but TWO players with zero points (Rob Gronkowski and Alex Collins), while still getting the win... talk about arrogant! We just ask you to please limit those flashy shenanigans to the regular season. Do it when the playoffs roll around, and we'll be finished.
North Dakota Ute
Well, we can't really whine about a shortage of opportunities this week, can we? Our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) combined to see a grand total of 24 targets in Week 16. Those players might need to get some extra reps with the JUGS machine, considering they pulled down just 12 catches.
