Coach Talk

Brewmasters
Listen, Brewmasters, we do certainly respect the confidence. It's a bold move to play a starter with zero points (Terry McLaurin), while still earning the win.
Mutinous Apes
Unless Mutinous Apes wants to go full diva-mode, then "not seeing enough chances" isn't really an excuse this week. As a group, our six pass-catchers (five WR and one TE) collectively got a grand total of 32 targets in Week 14. Those players should spend extra practice time working with their QBs, considering they managed just 19 receptions.
