Coach Talk

Silver Bullets
We can't overstate just how important close wins like this can be for team chemistry. Overcoming tough obstacles and persevering in the face of adversity... look for the Silver Bullets locker room to really gel heading into Week 17.
Big Blue
"Not seeing enough chances" really isn't an excuse this week for Big Blue. As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) combined to see a grand total of 31 targets in Week 16. With just 15 total catches, this group may have some chemistry issues.
