Coach Talk

RGK Lily
Getting the win is most important, RGK Lily, but we've also identified one spot where we can improve as a team; our running backs were severely overmatched this past week. Buoyed by Austin Ekeler (69 total yards, no TDs) and Tevin Coleman (85 yards, no TDs), our three RBs combined for just 28 points in Week 11, while the starting backfield for Ms. Whiddleberry doubled us up with a score of 56. Let's put some more effort into studying those playbooks!
Ms. Whiddleberry
Carson Wentz threw three interceptions and literally no touchdowns? Thanksgiving may be upon us, but we're having a lot of trouble giving thanks for that sort of performance.
