Coach Talk

Night Hawk
Here's a list of sports scenarios where it's borderline excusable to go 0-for-2: A hitter's line in baseball, the Jazz facing MJ's Bulls in the NBA Finals, and a double-fault in tennis. That's just about it. Going 0-for-2 on field goal attempts this past week? Sounds like Brett Maher may have just kicked himself back into the free agent pool after this performance.
PIERMONSTERS
Well, we certainly can't complain about a shortage of opportunities this week, can we? Our pass-catching corps (four WR, one TE) collectively received a grand total of 36 targets in Week 13. With only 22 total catches, this group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
