Coach Talk

House of Pain
Listen, House of Pain, we do admire the confidence. Deploying a player with zero points (Jerry Hughes), while still earning the W... talk about arrogant. Try that type of flashy, show-off stuff next week and we're sure to be toast.
PATRIOTS RULE
PATRIOTS RULE will find it tough to gripe about lack of opportunity this past week. Our pass-catching corps (four WR, one TE) were targeted a healthy 31 times in Week 15. With only 16 total catches, this group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
