Coach Talk

Rabid Otters
You know what, Rabid Otters, we do appreciate the confidence. It takes real moxie to roll out a starter with zero points (Mike Evans), while still getting the W.
Mad Juicemen
Unless Mad Juicemen wants to go full diva-mode, then "not seeing enough chances" isn't really an excuse this time around. As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) were targeted a respectable 19 times in Week 15. With just 10 total receptions, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
