Coach Talk

Refrigerator Perry
You know what, Refrigerator Perry, we do certainly admire the confidence. It's a bold move to deploy a starter with zero points (D'Andre Swift), while still earning a W. All we ask is to please limit that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the regular season. Do it when the playoffs roll around, and we're toast.
Butkicker
Unless Butkicker wants to go full diva-mode, then "not getting enough chances" is not a reasonable excuse this time around. Our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) collectively saw a grand total of 25 targets in Week 16. Timing and chemistry appear to be issues as that group reeled in just 14 catches.
