Coach Talk

GOAT Status
Hey, it's good to be confident, GOAT Status. Playing a starter with zero points (Zach Ertz), while still getting the W... that's a bit too risky for us traditionalists! All we ask is to please limit that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the regular season. Try it when the playoffs roll around, and we're finished.
coach's First-Class Team
Unless coach's First-Class Team wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not getting enough chances" isn't really a valid excuse this time around. As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) combined to get a grand total of 21 targets in Week 16. Chemistry and timing appear to be issues as that group tallied only 12 catches.
