Coach Talk

TheNigerianNightmare
Hey, it's good to be confident, TheNigerianNightmare. It's a bold move to play a player with zero points (Isaiah McKenzie), while still earning the win. We just ask you to please limit those flashy shenanigans to the regular season. Do it in the postseason and we're toast.
StairwayToSeven
Well, we certainly can't complain about a lack of opportunities this time, can we? As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) collectively got a grand total of 21 targets in Week 11. With only 13 total catches, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
