Coach Talk

Raiders soul smasher
We do appreciate the confidence this past week, Raiders soul smasher. It takes real moxie to deploy not one, not two, but THREE starters with zero points (Dameon Pierce, David Long Jr., and Kamren Curl), while still getting the win. We just ask you to please limit those flashy shenanigans to the regular season. Can you imagine how silly we'd look if we let it happen in the playoffs?
larry's Team
larry's Team may find it tough to gripe about lack of opportunities this past week. Our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) collectively got a grand total of 21 targets in Week 16. With only nine total catches, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
