Coach Talk

Detroit Lionz 🦁 🥸
We do appreciate the confidence this past week, Detroit Lionz 🦁 🥸. Deploying a player with zero points (Devin Duvernay), while still getting a win... talk about arrogant! All we ask is to please keep that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the regular season. Try it in the postseason and we'll be finished.
Seattle Seahawks
Unless Seattle Seahawks wants to go full diva-mode, then "not seeing many looks" is not a valid excuse this week. Our six pass-catchers (five WR, one TE) collectively received a grand total of 31 targets in Week 16. Those players might need to hit the practice field, considering they hauled in just 13 receptions.
