Coach Talk

Broken_Bottle_Facial
Listen, Broken_Bottle_Facial, we applaud you on the confidence. It takes a special kind of moxie to deploy a player with negative points (the Dallas Cowboys defense) while still earning a win. All we ask is to please keep those shenanigans to the regular season. Try it in the postseason and we're toast.
Gray's Aces
Well, we can't really whine about a lack of opportunities this time, can we? Our pass-catching corps (five WR, one TE) collectively received a grand total of 39 targets in Week 16. With only 23 total catches, this group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
