Coach Talk

The Footballas
You know The Footballas, we're glass-half-full kind of coaches. While others may harp on the fact that our scoring output has slipped lately, we'll choose to spin this in a positive direction. Averaging 159.84 points through Week 14, our crew has obviously proven that it's even better than the 171.76 we needed for this past week's win!
Wyerock Bottoms
Well, we can't really gripe about a shortage of opportunities this week, can we? Our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) collectively received a grand total of 26 targets in Week 15. Those players might need to get some extra reps with the JUGS machine, considering they pulled down only 11 receptions.
