Coach Talk

We Dem Boyz
Hey, we admire the confidence, We Dem Boyz. It takes moxie to deploy a player with zero points (Joey Bosa), while still earning the win. All we ask is to please limit those flashy shenanigans to the regular season. Try it in the postseason and we'll be done.
Golden Dynasty
Unless Golden Dynasty wants to go full diva-mode, then "not getting many chances" is definitely not an excuse this time around. As a group, our six pass-catchers (four WR and two TE) were targeted a whopping 29 times in Week 16. Chemistry and timing appear to be issues as that group hauled in just 16 catches.
