Coach Talk

No More Diamonds
Listen, No More Diamonds, we certainly appreciate the confidence. It takes gumption to field a starter with negative points (the Carolina Panthers defense) while still earning a W. All we ask is to please limit that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the regular season. Try it in the postseason and we're toast.
Bad JuJu
Unless Bad JuJu wants to go full diva-mode, then "not seeing enough opportunities" isn't really a reasonable excuse this week. Our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) collectively got a whopping 21 targets in Week 14. Chemistry could be an issue, as that group recorded just 11 receptions.
