Coach Talk

The dirty birds
Hey, it's good to be confident, The dirty birds. Playing a starter with zero points (Parker Hesse), while still earning the win... that's playing with fire.
Money In The Bank
Well, we certainly can't complain about a shortage of opportunities this time, can we? Our trio of pass-catchers (two WR and one TE) were targeted a whopping 22 times in Week 15. With just 10 total receptions, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
