Coach Talk

foreskinhoney
You know what, foreskinhoney, we do appreciate the confidence. It's a bold move to start a player with zero points (Mike Evans), while still earning the win.
Beast Load
So, Beast Load, what'd your receiving crew do to annoy their quarterbacks this week? With only 12 targets combined in Week 15, our three starting pass-catchers (two WR, one TE) obviously need to get in their respective QBs' ears this week in practice.
