Coach Talk

🗣GUARD!!!
Wow, the Colts secondary didn't know what hit 'em! 29 completions on 30 attempts... good enough for a 97% completion percentage for Drew Brees. We know the GM of 🗣GUARD!!! has gotta be thankful for that attention to detail.
DesertFox
Welp, we certainly can't whine about a lack of opportunities this time, can we? As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) were targeted a whopping 26 times in Week 15. With just 14 total receptions, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
