Coach Talk

Buffalo Bills l
Good work assembling a starting crew that won by a whopping 284.62 points this past week. We did what was needed and took care of business.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Unless Tampa Bay Buccaneers wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not seeing many opportunities" won't cut it as an excuse this time around. Our pass-catching corps (three WR and two TE) were targeted a grand total of 25 times in Week 16. Chemistry and timing appear to be issues as that group managed just 14 catches.
