Coach Talk

varnelldude
We do respect the confidence this past week, varnelldude. It's a bold move to deploy a starter with zero points (Matt Prater), while still earning the W! We just ask you to please keep that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the regular season. Try it in the postseason and we'll be toast.
Cleveland Fan
Unless Cleveland Fan wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not seeing enough chances" can't be an excuse this week. Our five wide receivers were targeted a healthy 32 times in Week 11. With just 18 total catches, that group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
