Coach Talk

Peyton's Puss eaters
Well, we do applaud the confidence this past week, Peyton's Puss eaters. It takes true gumption to roll out a player with negative points (the Denver Broncos defense) while still getting the win. 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.
eddie's Cool Team
Unless eddie's Cool Team wants to go full diva-mode, then "not getting many looks" doesn't fly as an excuse this week. As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 35 times in Week 16. Timing and chemistry seem to be issues as that group notched only 21 catches.
