Coach Talk

Poldi Steelers
Hey, we admire the confidence, Poldi Steelers. Deploying a player with zero points (Brandin Cooks), while still earning a W... talk about arrogant. All we ask is to please keep those flashy shenanigans to the regular season. Can you imagine how silly we'd look if we let it happen in the playoffs?
NorthSiders
"Not getting many opportunities" really isn't an excuse this week for NorthSiders. Our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) were targeted a whopping 30 times in Week 16. With only 18 total catches, this group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
