Coach Talk

DieNasty32
Well, we do appreciate the confidence this past week, DieNasty32. It takes true moxie to field a player with negative points (plus two zero-point players) while still getting the W. All we ask is to please limit those shenanigans to the regular season. Try it in the postseason and we're toast.
Shadynasty
So, Shadynasty, what did your receiving crew do to get written out of their teams' game plans this week? Accumulating just 25 total targets this past week, our seven starting pass-catchers (six WR, one TE) clearly need to get on their QBs' good sides this week in practice.
