Coach Talk

The Madcows
Well, we do applaud the confidence this past week, The Madcows. It takes a special kind of gumption to play a starter with negative points (the Cleveland Browns defense) while still getting the W.
Toe Collector
Unless Toe Collector wants to go full diva-mode, then "not getting enough chances" isn't really an excuse this time around. As a group, our six pass-catchers (four WR and two TE) collectively got a respectable 34 targets in Week 15. With just 20 total catches, that group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
