Coach Talk

Witch Hunt!
Getting the win is most important, Witch Hunt!, but we've also identified one spot where we should improve as a team. Our QB was utterly outmatched by the opposition. Philip Rivers went 26-of-36 for 299 yards and two touchdowns for ya know whateva, and all Matt Ryan could put up was a 16-for-26 outing, with 131 yards and one passing TD. Let's put some more effort into scouting those upcoming defenses!
ya know whateva
Welp, we certainly can't complain about a shortage of opportunities this week, can we? Our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) collectively got a whopping 35 targets in Week 13. Those players might need to hit the practice field, considering they recorded only 19 receptions.
