Coach Talk

Cheese
Listen, Cheese, we applaud you on the confidence. Fielding a starter with negative points (along with a zero-point player) while still getting the win... that's playing with fire. All we ask is to please keep that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the regular season. Try it in the playoffs and we're toast.
POOTIETANG
Unless POOTIETANG wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not getting many looks" is not a reasonable excuse this week. Our five pass-catchers (four WR and one TE) collectively saw a grand total of 30 targets in Week 14. With only 17 total catches, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
