Coach Talk

Joe Montana
Hey, we admire the confidence, Joe Montana. Deploying a starter with zero points (Eric Ebron), while still getting the win... talk about arrogant.
Mean Joe Green
Well, we certainly can't complain about a lack of opportunities this time, can we? As a group, our pass-catching corps (four WR and one TE) collectively received a grand total of 21 targets in Week 15. Those players might need to get some extra reps with the JUGS machine, considering they recorded only 10 catches.
