Coach Talk

DoggyB22
You know DoggyB22, the good news is that we took this matchup by almost eight points. Even better news is that we've proven we're stronger than this... as a matter of fact, our team's scoring average through 14 weeks was 127.57. So while we're happy to have earned this victory, let's "regress" back up to where we know we can be!
The Diddles
The Diddles may find it tough to gripe about lack of opportunities this past week. As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) were targeted a grand total of 35 times in Week 15. With only 19 total receptions, that group may have some chemistry issues.
