Coach Talk
Herbanchef
Well, we do applaud the confidence this past week, Herbanchef. Starting a starter with negative points (plus a zero-point player) while still getting the W... talk about arrogance. All we ask is to please limit those shenanigans to the regular season. Try it in the postseason and we're toast.
cwson76's First-Rate Team
Unless cwson76's First-Rate Team wants to go full diva-mode, then "not getting enough looks" is definitely not an excuse this time around. Our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) combined to get a grand total of 21 targets in Week 16. Chemistry could be an issue, as that group reeled in just 11 receptions.
