Coach Talk

Slap The Chef
You know Slap The Chef, we're "glass half full" kind of coaches. While others may harp on the fact that our scoring's declined a bit lately, we'll choose to take the optimistic route. Averaging 84.98 points through Week 14, our crew has shown it's more than capable of outproducing the 85.58 we needed for this past week's win!
Some big ass TDs
Unless Some big ass TDs wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not getting enough chances" cannot be a valid excuse this time around. Our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) were targeted a healthy 23 times in Week 15. Those players might need to hit the practice field, considering they hauled in only 13 catches.
