Coach Talk

cw's Team
You know what, cw's Team, we do certainly respect the confidence. It takes real guts to deploy a starter with zero points (KJ Hamler), while still getting a win.
Bro's Big Brew
"Not getting many chances" won't fly as an excuse this week for Bro's Big Brew. Our pass-catching corps (five WR, five TE) collectively got a grand total of 46 targets in Week 16. Those players might need to hit the practice field, considering they pulled down just 28 balls.
