Coach Talk

Benetton Favorites
Hey, it's good to be confident, Benetton Favorites. Deploying a starter with zero points (Adam Thielen), while still earning the W... that's a bit too risky for us traditionalists. All we ask is to please keep those flashy shenanigans to the regular season. Do it when the postseason rolls around, and we're done.
Damjan's Team
Unless Damjan's Team wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not getting enough looks" doesn't fly as an excuse this time around. As a group, our pass-catching corps (two WR, one TE) collectively got a hearty 21 targets in Week 13. Timing and chemistry seem to be issues as that group reeled in just 11 catches.
