Coach Talk

The Regulators
Listen, The Regulators, we do appreciate the confidence. Deploying a starter with zero points (Carlos Hyde), while still getting the W... that's playing with fire. All we ask is to please limit those flashy shenanigans to the regular season. Do it when the postseason rolls around, and we're finished.
d's Swag Team
d's Swag Team may find it tough to gripe about lack of opportunity this past week. Our pass-catching corps (two WR, one TE) were targeted a grand total of 15 times in Week 17. With just nine total catches, this group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
