Coach Talk

GloboGym Prpl Cobras
Wow, the Seahawks secondary didn't know what hit 'em! 25 completions on 30 attempts... good enough for a 83 percent completion percentage for Cam Newton. We know the GM of GloboGym Prpl Cobras has gotta be grateful for that attention to detail.
Donkey Punch
Unless Donkey Punch wants to go full diva-mode, then "not getting enough looks" is definitely not a reasonable excuse this time around. Our pass-catching corps (two WR, one TE) were targeted a hearty 17 times in Week 12. Chemistry seems to be the primary issue, as that group reeled in just nine receptions.
