Coach Talk

PEDs
Listen, PEDs, we do certainly respect the confidence. It's a bold move to play a starter with zero points (Hunter Henry), while still getting the W. We just ask you to please keep those flashy shenanigans to the regular season. Try it when the playoffs roll around, and we're finished.
Da Dementors
Unless Da Dementors wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not seeing enough looks" isn't really a valid excuse this week. Our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) were targeted a hearty 28 times in Week 16. With just 15 total catches, this group may have some chemistry issues.
