Coach Talk

Roughnecks
Listen, Roughnecks, we applaud you on the confidence. It takes true gumption to start a player with negative points (plus a zero-point player) while still getting the win. All we ask is to please keep those shenanigans to the regular season. Try it in the postseason and we're toast.
Dead Again
Welp, we certainly can't complain about a lack of opportunities this time, can we? Our pass-catching corps (four WR, two TE) were targeted a healthy 30 times in Week 10. With just 17 total receptions, that group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
