Coach Talk

keen[st]
You know what, keen[st], we do certainly appreciate the confidence. It takes real moxie to play, not one, but TWO starters with zero points (the Baltimore Ravens defense and Myles Gaskin), while still earning the win! We just ask you to please limit those flashy shenanigans to the regular season. Try it in the postseason and we'll be done.
impulsive[st]
Well, we certainly can't complain about a shortage of opportunities this time, can we? As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) collectively got a grand total of 22 targets in Week 14. Those players should spend extra practice time working with their QBs, considering they reeled in only 13 catches.
