Coach Talk

BallBusters
Well, we do appreciate the confidence this past week, BallBusters. Playing a starter with negative points (the Denver Broncos defense) while still earning the win... talk about arrogance. All we ask is to please keep that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the regular season. Try it in the playoffs and we're toast.
CRANEDANGO
"Not seeing enough looks" can't be a viable excuse this week for CRANEDANGO. As a group, our five pass-catchers (four WR and one TE) collectively got a hearty 46 targets in Week 16. Timing and chemistry seem to be issues as that group hauled in just 27 catches.
