Coach Talk

td
We do appreciate the confidence this past week, td. Deploying a player with zero points (Marquez Valdes-Scantling), while still earning the W... that's a bit too risky for us traditionalists.
Mongol Hordes
Welp, we can't really whine about a shortage of opportunities this time, can we? As a group, our five pass-catchers (four WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 37 times in Week 16. With just 20 total catches, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
