Coach Talk

Donald Trump
Hey, we admire the confidence, Donald Trump. Deploying a starter with zero points (James Conner), while still getting the W... that's playing with fire.
Mux Sux Big Cux
Unless Mux Sux Big Cux wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not getting enough looks" won't cut it as an excuse this week. Our trio of pass-catchers (two WR and one TE) were targeted a hearty 21 times in Week 16. Chemistry seems to be the primary issue, as that group recorded only 12 receptions.
