Coach Talk

Gringo's Team
Listen Gringo's Team, we're glass-half-full kind of coaches. While some may harp on the fact that our scoring's decreased a bit recently, we'll choose to spin this in a positive direction. Averaging 195.54 points through Week 14, our crew has obviously proven that it's even stronger than the 215.07 we needed to win this past week!
big diesel
Well, we certainly can't complain about a shortage of opportunities this time, can we? As a group, our six pass-catchers (five WR and one TE) collectively got a grand total of 38 targets in Week 15. With only 23 total receptions, that group may have some chemistry issues.
