Coach Talk

Bloody Sabbath
Deploying a starting crew that tallied 128.7 points this past week... we did what was needed and took care of business.
Robots
Well, we certainly can't whine about a lack of opportunities this time, can we? As a group, our pass-catching corps (two WR, one TE) were targeted a respectable 18 times in Week 14. With just seven total receptions, that group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
