Coach Talk

Curt's Cool Team
You know Curt's Cool Team, I'm a glass-half-full kind of coach. While others may harp on the fact that our scoring's slipped recently, I'll choose to take the optimistic route. Averaging 122.9 points through Week 13, our crew has shown it's more than capable of outperforming the 95.94 we needed for this past week's win!
Andrew's Team
Unless Andrew's Team wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not getting many chances" doesn't fly as an excuse this time around. As a group, our pass-catching corps (two WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 20 times in Week 14. With just 12 total receptions, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
