Coach Talk

Loading...
Hey, it's good to be confident, Loading.... Deploying a player with zero points (Brett Maher), while still earning the win... that's borderline cocky.
Chris's Team
Unless Chris's Team wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not seeing enough opportunities" is definitely not an excuse this week. As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) were targeted a whopping 32 times in Week 15. With only 19 total catches, that group may have some chemistry issues.
