Coach Talk

Mean Joe Green
Listen Mean Joe Green, the good news is that we took this matchup by 8.5 points. Even better news is that we've proven we're better than this... as a matter of fact, our team's scoring average through 10 weeks was 136.91. So while we're happy to have gotten this victory, let's get back up to where we know we can be!
Bradshaws Bombers
Welp, we certainly can't whine about a shortage of opportunities this week, can we? As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) were targeted a respectable 20 times in Week 11. Timing and chemistry seem to be issues as that group managed only 12 catches.
