Coach Talk

BallGrabbers
Listen, BallGrabbers, we applaud you on the confidence. Playing a starter with negative points (the Washington Football Team defense) while still earning a W... 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.
The Replacements
"Not seeing many chances" shouldn't really be an excuse this week for The Replacements. Our pass-catching corps (four WR, one TE) combined to see a respectable 21 targets in Week 16. With just 11 total receptions, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
