Coach Talk

jamest1728
Listen, jamest1728, we do certainly respect the confidence. Deploying a player with zero points (Brock Wright), while still getting a W... that's a bit too risky for us traditionalists. All we ask is to please keep those flashy shenanigans to the regular season. Do it in the postseason and we'll be done.
GoldDiggers
"Not getting enough opportunities" really isn't an excuse this week for GoldDiggers. As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) combined to get a whopping 11 targets in Week 14. With only seven total receptions, that group may have some chemistry issues.
