Coach Talk

michael's Team
Well, we do appreciate the confidence this past week, michael's Team. It takes real gumption to deploy a starter with negative points (plus a zero-point player) while still earning the win. All we ask is to please limit those shenanigans to the regular season. Try it in the playoffs and we're toast.
Old school
Unless Old school wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not getting enough looks" doesn't fly as an excuse this time around. As a group, our five pass-catchers (three WR and two TE) were targeted a respectable 21 times in Week 11. Chemistry and timing seem to be issues as that group notched just 13 receptions.
