Coach Talk

TheLegendBoobieMiles
Earning the win is most important, TheLegendBoobieMiles, but we certainly know of one spot where we can get stronger as a team: our starting wide receivers were clearly outclassed this past week. Held back by Josh Gordon (19 yards from scrimmage, no TDs) and Sterling Shepard (37 yards, no TDs), our three WRs combined for just 29 points in Week 15. The starting wideouts for TeamPnesTheMeanest showed us how it's supposed to be done by putting up a score of 73. Let's put some more effort into scouting those upcoming defenses!
