Coach Talk
Dogger's Fiends
Well, we do applaud the confidence this past week, Dogger's Fiends. It takes a special kind of guts to deploy a starter with negative points (Nick Folk) while still getting a W. All we ask is to please keep those shenanigans to the regular season. Try it in the postseason and we're toast.
Tiger Jay
Unless Tiger Jay wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not getting many chances" doesn't fly as an excuse this time around. As a group, our pass-catching corps (four WR, one TE) collectively got a grand total of 27 targets in Week 16. Timing and chemistry appear to be issues as that group notched just 14 receptions.
