Coach Talk

Governators
Listen, Governators, we certainly appreciate the confidence. Starting a player with negative points (the Cincinnati Bengals defense) while still earning the W... talk about arrogance. All we ask is to please limit that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the regular season. Try it in the playoffs and we're toast.
Mr. Moneyline
Mr. Moneyline will find it tough to complain about lack of opportunity this past week. As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) combined to see a respectable 18 targets in Week 17. Chemistry and timing seem to be issues as that group recorded just 11 receptions.
