Coach Talk

Bring It!
Hey Bring It!, the good news is that we won this matchup by 19 points. The better news is that we've proven we're even better than this, as our scoring average through Week 14 stood at 178.75. So yes, we're happy to have gotten this victory, but let's also get back up to where we know we can be!
The Big Gronkowski
Unless The Big Gronkowski wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not getting enough chances" doesn't fly as an excuse this week. As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 23 times in Week 15. With only 13 total receptions, that group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
