Coach Talk

Winged Helmets 5
Listen, Winged Helmets 5, we do admire the confidence. Deploying a starter with zero points (Brian Burns), while still getting the win... talk about arrogant.
Olivier's Okay Team
Unless Olivier's Okay Team wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not seeing many opportunities" doesn't fly as an excuse this week. Our pass-catching corps (four WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 39 times in Week 15. Chemistry and timing appear to be issues as that group managed just 21 catches.
