Coach Talk

Douche Bags
Hey, we admire the confidence, Douche Bags. It takes guts to deploy a starter with zero points (Tony Jones Jr.), while still getting the W. We just ask you to please limit that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the regular season. Can you imagine how silly we'd look if we let it happen in the playoffs?
Patriots
Unless Patriots wants to go full diva-mode, then "not seeing enough chances" doesn't fly as an excuse this week. Our pass-catching corps (three WR, two TE) were targeted a grand total of 27 times in Week 16. Those players might need to hit the practice field, considering they hauled in only 12 catches.
