Coach Talk

Billsrback
Hey, we do admire the confidence this past week, Billsrback. It's a bold move to deploy not one, not two, but THREE starters with zero points (Dawson Knox, Denzel Mims, and Ty Montgomery), while still earning the win.
Sad Sacks
Yo, Sad Sacks, did your receiving crew talk bad about their quarterbacks or something? Seeing just 27 total targets in Week 17, our six wide receivers clearly need to get on their QBs' good sides this week in practice.
