Coach Talk

Hookers and Blow
You know Hookers and Blow, the good news is that we won this matchup by 5.7 points. The *even better* news is that we know we're stronger than this, as our scoring average through Week 14 stood at 107.12. So while we're happy to have earned this victory, let's get back up to where we know we can be!
Very inTimidating
Unless Very inTimidating wants to go full diva-mode, then "not getting enough opportunities" is not an excuse this week. Our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) combined to see a grand total of 27 targets in Week 15. With only 13 total receptions, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
