Coach Talk

deepball
You know deepball, the good news is that we won this matchup by 4 points. The better news is that we've proven we're even better than this, as our scoring average through 14 weeks was 107.07. So while we're happy to have gotten this victory, let's "regress" back up to where we know we can be!
Banannaise
"Not seeing enough chances" won't be a reasonable excuse this week for Banannaise. As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) were targeted a grand total of 19 times in Week 15. Timing and chemistry appear to be issues as that group recorded only 11 receptions.
