Coach Talk

Big Dawgs
Well, we do applaud the confidence this past week, Big Dawgs. Playing a starter with negative points (plus a zero-point player) while still earning the win... that's borderline arrogant. All we ask is to please keep that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the regular season. Try it in the postseason and we're toast.
Brick by brick
Welp, we can't really complain about a lack of opportunities this time, can we? Our six pass-catchers (five WR and one TE) combined to get a grand total of 28 targets in Week 12. With only 16 total catches, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
