Coach Talk

Diddy
Whoa now Diddy, that's the sort of performance we love to see! A completion percentage of 86 percent this past week for Mr. Precision... Uh, sorry, I mean Derek Carr. That Bengals secondary didn't know what hit 'em! We know the GM of Diddy is grateful for the precision and attention to detail.
HOTDISH HOOLIGANS
"Not getting enough chances" won't fly as an excuse this week for HOTDISH HOOLIGANS. As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) combined to get a grand total of 33 targets in Week 11. Chemistry and timing seem to be issues as that group recorded just 20 catches.
