Coach Talk

Puppet Mazzter
Listen, Puppet Mazzter, we applaud you on the confidence. Starting a player with negative points (along with a zero-point player) while still earning a win... talk about arrogance. All we ask is to please limit that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the regular season. Try it in the playoffs and we're toast.
Hi Mom
Welp, we can't really gripe about a shortage of opportunities this week, can we? As a group, our trio of pass-catchers (two WR and one TE) combined to get a grand total of 21 targets in Week 16. Chemistry and timing appear to be issues as that group hauled in just 13 catches.
