Coach Talk

Virtual Mr.D
Hey, we admire the confidence, Virtual Mr.D. Deploying a starter with zero points (Alexander Mattison), while still earning a W... talk about arrogant.
Waiting till next year
Unless Waiting till next year wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not getting many opportunities" doesn't fly as an excuse this time around. As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) collectively saw a whopping 21 targets in Week 15. With just 13 total receptions, this group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
