Coach Talk

Hit'em Hard D
You know what, Hit'em Hard D, we do certainly appreciate the confidence. Deploying a starter with zero points (DeVante Parker), while still getting a W... talk about arrogant! All we ask is to please limit that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the regular season. Do it in the playoffs and we'll be toast.
Kaiba_Boy's Team
"Not getting many opportunities" shouldn't really be an excuse this week for Kaiba_Boy's Team. Our pass-catching corps (two WR, one TE) collectively got a grand total of 15 targets in Week 16. With just eight total receptions, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
