Coach Talk

TyTaylor2TDs
Sure, we ultimately got the win, but we can't deny it, TyTaylor2TDs; our starting quarterback was utterly outplayed by the opposition. Our one signal-callers combined for just 4.74 points in Week 14, and the QBs for Haslams' Headache showed us how it's supposed to be done by putting up a score of 21.48. Let's bounce back with a big statement in Week 15!
Haslams' Headache
Unless Haslams' Headache wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not seeing many chances" doesn't fly as an excuse this week. Our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) combined to get a grand total of 23 targets in Week 14. Those players should spend extra practice time working with their QBs, considering they pulled down only 14 receptions.
