Coach Talk

Akatsuki
Hey, we admire the confidence, Akatsuki. Deploying not one, but TWO starters with zero points (Jimmy Graham and Joe Mixon), while still earning a W... talk about arrogant! All we ask is to please limit those flashy shenanigans to the regular season. Try it when the playoffs roll around, and we'll be finished.
Colorado Supermax
Unless Colorado Supermax wants to go full diva-mode, then "not getting enough opportunities" doesn't fly as an excuse this week. Our eight pass-catchers (six WR, two TE) collectively got a hearty 50 targets in Week 10. With just 30 total receptions, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
