Coach Talk

The Cardiac Comeback
You know what, The Cardiac Comeback, we do certainly admire the confidence. Deploying not one, but TWO starters with zero points (Zach Ertz and the Minnesota Vikings defense), while still getting the W... talk about arrogant.
Hoffman Hillbillies
Unless Hoffman Hillbillies wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not seeing enough looks" is definitely not an excuse this week. As a group, our trio of pass-catchers (two WR, one TE) were targeted a grand total of 21 times in Week 14. Timing and chemistry appear to be issues as that group pulled down only 13 catches.
