Coach Talk

Scorpions
Well Scorpions, the good news is that we won this matchup by more than 11 points. Even better news is that we've proven we're stronger than this... in fact, our team's scoring average through Week 10 stood at 111.68. So while we're happy to have earned this victory, let's "regress" back up to where we know we can be!
carbkit's Best Team
Unless carbkit's Best Team wants to go full diva-mode, then "not seeing many opportunities" is not a reasonable excuse this week. As a group, our trio of pass-catchers (two WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 15 times in Week 11. Chemistry could be the primary issue, as that group hauled in only seven balls.
