Coach Talk

Demoni
You know Demoni, the good news is that we took this matchup by 17 points. The *even better* news is that we've proven we're better than this... in fact, our team's scoring average through 13 weeks was 108.46. So yes, we're happy to have gotten this victory, but let's also "regress" back up to where we know we can be!
dolchezza
Well, we can't really gripe about a lack of opportunities this week, can we? Our pass-catching corps (two WR, one TE) combined to receive a respectable 31 targets in Week 14. With only 18 total catches, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
