Coach Talk

Drunk Muppets
Here's a list of scenarios where it's somewhat excusable to go 0-for-2 in sports: 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? It's quite possible that Wil Lutz just kicked himself to the waiver wire after that sort of performance.
Buckeye Blasters
Unless Buckeye Blasters wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not getting many looks" is definitely not an excuse this time around. Our pass-catching corps (four WR and one TE) combined to see a whopping 25 targets in Week 14. With just 14 total catches, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
