Coach Talk

Wu-Tang
Hey, it's good to be confident, Wu-Tang. It takes a certain sort of moxie to roll out a player with zero points (Cole Beasley), while still getting the win.
NogutsNoglory
Hey, NogutsNoglory, what'd your wideouts do to irk their quarterbacks this week? Accumulating only 23 targets as a group in Week 15, our six wide receivers obviously need to get on their QBs' good sides this week in practice.
