Coach Talk

Barb's Unreal Team
Here's a list of sports scenarios where it's somewhat acceptable to go 0-for-2: A hitter's line in baseball, a pair of Dwight Howard free throws, and a double-fault in tennis. That's basically it. Going 0-for-2 on field goal attempts this past week? Seems like Michael Badgley may have just kicked himself to the waiver wire after this performance.
Monkey Business
Well, we certainly can't gripe about a lack of opportunities this week, can we? As a group, our pass-catching corps (seven WR and three TE) were targeted a respectable 45 times in Week 13. With just 25 total catches, this group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
