Coach Talk

Doogie's Team
Hey, we admire the confidence, Doogie's Team. Starting a player with zero points (Jimmy Graham), while still earning a win... that's playing with fire! We just ask you to please limit that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the regular season. Can you imagine how silly we'd look if we let it happen in the playoffs?
TheNigerianNightmare
Recording one reception on only two measly targets this past week, it appears that the starting running backs for TheNigerianNightmare should remind their quarterbacks to get them more involved (and dial up a screen play or two).
