Coach Talk

Blazin Joints
Well, we do appreciate the confidence this past week, Blazin Joints. Fielding a player with negative points (Nick Folk) while still getting the win... talk about arrogance. All we ask is to please keep that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the regular season. Try it in the playoffs and we're toast.
Chalupa Batman
Unless Chalupa Batman wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not seeing many looks" is not a reasonable excuse this time around. As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) collectively received a hearty 31 targets in Week 16. With just 19 total receptions, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
