Coach Talk

TJ's Team 2
Listen, TJ's Team 2, we do appreciate the confidence. Starting a player with zero points (Matt Judon), while still earning the W... talk about arrogant. All we ask is to please limit that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the regular season. Do it when the postseason rolls around, and we'll be finished.
LongShotzz
Unless LongShotzz wants to go full diva-mode, then "not getting many chances" is definitely not a valid excuse this time around. As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) combined to get a healthy 30 targets in Week 17. With only 17 total catches, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
