Coach Talk

Pogues Mahone
Hey, we admire the confidence, Pogues Mahone. Deploying a starter with zero points (Isaiah McKenzie), while still earning the W... talk about arrogant! All we ask is to please limit those flashy shenanigans to the regular season. Can you imagine how silly we'd look if we let it happen in the playoffs?
Garbaggio
Unless Garbaggio wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not seeing enough looks" doesn't fly as an excuse this time around. Our five pass-catchers (four WR, one TE) were targeted a grand total of 31 times in Week 11. Chemistry and timing appear to be issues as that group reeled in only 18 catches.
