Coach Talk

Stephen's Super Team
Earning the win is most important, Stephen's Super Team, but we do know of one spot where we should improve as a team. Our starting QB was severely overmatched this past week. Russell Wilson went 11-of-17 for 185 yards and four touchdowns for Willie's Team, and all Andrew Luck could manage through the air was 248 passing yards and an ugly interception. Let's bounce back with a big statement in Week 14!
Willie's Team
"Not seeing enough chances" really isn't an excuse this week for Willie's Team. As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) collectively got a grand total of 23 targets in Week 13. Timing and chemistry appear to be issues as that group tallied just nine catches.
