Coach Talk

Patriot Killer
Well, we do appreciate the confidence this past week, Patriot Killer. It's a bold move to deploy a player with zero points (the Minnesota Vikings defense), while still getting the W. We just ask you to please keep that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the regular season. Do it when the playoffs roll around, and we're finished.
PIERMONSTERS
"Not seeing many opportunities" isn't a reasonable excuse this week for PIERMONSTERS. As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 26 times in Week 14. Chemistry could be a problem, as that group recorded just 16 receptions.
