Coach Talk

IGottaFever
We do appreciate the confidence this past week, IGottaFever. Deploying a starter with zero points (Jack Doyle), while still earning the win... that's borderline cocky. 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?
#Injured Reserve
Welp, we certainly can't gripe about a shortage of opportunities this time, can we? As a group, our five pass-catchers (three WR, two TE) were targeted a grand total of 34 times in Week 16. Those players should participate in some additional timing drills with their QBs, considering they recorded just 19 receptions.
