Coach Talk

Grizzled Vets
Well Grizzled Vets, the good news is that we won this matchup by over 40 points. The better news is that we've proven we're even better than this... as a matter of fact, our team's scoring average through Week 14 stood at 98.22. So yes, we're happy to have earned this victory, but let's also get back up to where we know we can be!
Soaring Fondue
Soaring Fondue may find it tough to complain about lack of opportunity this past week. As a group, our pass-catching corps (two WR, one TE) were targeted a healthy 14 times in Week 15. Those players should try to get some extra practice reps in with their QBs, considering they notched only eight receptions.
