Coach Talk

The Belichick
Well, we do respect the confidence this past week, The Belichick. Deploying a starter with zero points (Gerald Everett), while still earning the win... talk about arrogant. All we ask is to please keep those flashy shenanigans to the regular season. Try it when the playoffs roll around, and we're done.
Happy Endings
Happy Endings will find it tough to complain about lack of opportunity this past week. Our pass-catching corps (four WR, one TE) collectively got a grand total of 45 targets in Week 16. With only 22 total catches, that group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
