Coach Talk

Flyhawks
Well, we do appreciate the confidence this past week, Flyhawks. Starting a player with negative points (along with a zero-point player) while still getting the W... talk about arrogance.
Well Oiled Machine
Well, we certainly can't complain about a lack of opportunities this time, can we? Our pass-catching corps (two WR, one TE) were targeted a grand total of 23 times in Week 16. Timing and chemistry seem to be issues as that group notched just nine receptions.
