Coach Talk

Demo men
Well, we do applaud the confidence this past week, Demo men. Fielding a starter with negative points (along with two zero-point players) while still getting the win... that's playing with fire. All we ask is to please keep those shenanigans to the regular season. Try it in the playoffs and we're toast.
No Limit Bowler
Well, we can't really complain about a lack of opportunities this week, can we? Our five pass-catchers (four WR, one TE) were targeted a grand total of 27 times in Week 16. Timing and chemistry seem to be issues as that group reeled in only 13 receptions.
