Coach Talk

Patriot Killer
Listen, Patriot Killer, we do respect the confidence. Deploying a player with zero points (Ryan Succop), while still getting the win... that's playing with fire.
Night Hawk
Well, we certainly can't complain about a lack of opportunities this time, can we? As a group, our pass-catching corps (six WR, one TE) collectively got a healthy 45 targets in Week 15. Timing and chemistry seem to be issues as that group hauled in just 27 catches.
