Coach Talk

Mindy Blunk's Team
Listen, Mindy Blunk's Team, we certainly appreciate the confidence. It takes a special kind of moxie to field a starter with negative points (T.J. Hockenson) while still earning the win. All we ask is to please limit those shenanigans to the regular season. Try it in the postseason and we're toast.
VikingDog!!!
Unless VikingDog!!! wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not seeing enough looks" doesn't fly as an excuse this time around. Our five pass-catchers (four WR, one TE) combined to see a grand total of 39 targets in Week 15. With only 21 total receptions, this group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
