Coach Talk

War Pony
You know what, War Pony, we do certainly admire the confidence. Deploying not one, but TWO starters with zero points (Kadarius Toney and Mark Ingram II), while still getting the W... that's borderline cocky. Try those shenanigans next week against Brewmasters and we'll be toast!
WarEagle
Unless WarEagle wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not seeing enough looks" isn't really an excuse this time around. Our five pass-catchers (three WR and two TE) were targeted a grand total of 28 times in Week 12. Chemistry could be an issue, as that group pulled down only 17 receptions.
