Coach Talk

Murray Christmas
Here's a list of sports scenarios where it's borderline excusable to go 0-for-2: A hitter's line in baseball, a pair of Shaquille O'Neal free throws, and a double-fault in tennis. That's basically it. Going 0-for-2 on field goal attempts this past week? It's quite possible that Brett Maher just kicked himself back into the free agent pool after this performance.
Josh GorDONE
Well, we can't really complain about a shortage of opportunities this week, can we? Our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) were targeted a grand total of 31 times in Week 13. With only 17 total catches, this group may have some chemistry issues.
