Coach Talk

Tripping Billies
Well Tripping Billies, the good news is that we took this matchup by more than eight points. Even better news is that we know we're better than this, as our scoring average through Week 14 stood at 99.77. So yes, we're happy to have gotten this victory, but let's also "regress" back up to where we know we can be!
Marino's Mafia
Hey, at least there were no celebration penalties: The seven starting offensive position players (four WRs, two RBs, one TE) on Marino's Mafia combined to register a healthy 437 total yards. Unfortunately, not one of those players was able to score a touchdown in Week 15.
