Coach Talk

THE PITT. CREW
Listen THE PITT. CREW, the good news is that we won this matchup by a whopping 1,162 points. The *even better* news is that we know we're stronger than this, as our scoring average through Week 11 stood at 4,250.64. So yes, we're happy to have earned this victory, but let's also "regress" back up to where we know we can be!
MANNING'S MAULERS
Hey, it's possible that MANNING'S MAULERS might be a better talent scout in the NFL than in fantasy football. Seeing just 15 total targets this past week, their four wide receivers apparently made the bulk of their contributions by blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
