Coach Talk

mE
We do appreciate the confidence this past week, mE. It takes real moxie to play a starter with zero points (the New England Patriots defense), while still earning the W! All we ask is to please limit that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the regular season. Can you imagine how silly we'd look if we let it happen in the playoffs?
THOMAS's Terrific Team
Unless THOMAS's Terrific Team wants to go full diva-mode, then "not seeing many chances" isn't really a valid excuse this time around. Our trio of pass-catchers (two WR, one TE) combined to get a grand total of 17 targets in Week 14. With just nine total receptions, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
