Coach Talk

Big Ballers
Hey, it's good to be confident, Big Ballers. It's a bold move to play a starter with zero points (Eric Ebron), while still getting the win.
Hug It Out Bitch
Unless Hug It Out Bitch wants to go full diva-mode, then "not getting enough chances" cannot be a valid excuse this time around. Our pass-catching corps (two WR, one TE) combined to get a grand total of 17 targets in Week 15. Timing and chemistry appear to be issues as that group pulled down just 10 catches.
