Coach Talk

Captain Hindsight
Nice job assembling a starting crew that nearly scored a "hundo" this past week. We deem that to be a job well done.
Short Bus Ryderz
"Not getting many chances" is definitely not a reasonable excuse this week for Short Bus Ryderz. As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) were targeted a respectable 33 times in Week 16. With just 16 total catches, this group may have some chemistry issues.
