Coach Talk

Dallas Cowboys
Hey, we admire the confidence, Dallas Cowboys. It takes gumption to roll out not one, not two, but FOUR players with zero points while still earning the win. We just ask you to please limit those flashy shenanigans to the regular season. Try it in the postseason and we'll be toast.
Phi Eagles (TS)
Unless Phi Eagles (TS) wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not getting enough chances" isn't really an excuse this week. Our four pass-catchers (two WR, two TE) were targeted a grand total of 21 times in Week 13. Chemistry and timing seem to be issues as that group pulled down just 11 receptions.
