Coach Talk

Gesus101
You know what, Gesus101, we do certainly appreciate the confidence. It takes guts to deploy a player with zero points (Foster Moreau), while still earning the win! We just ask you to please limit those flashy shenanigans to the regular season. Do it when the postseason rolls around, and we're finished.
Happy Endings
Happy Endings may find it tough to complain about lack of opportunities this past week. As a group, our five pass-catchers (four WR, one TE) were targeted a grand total of 38 times in Week 14. Chemistry and timing appear to be issues as that group pulled down only 22 catches.
