Coach Talk

Dead Again
Deploying a lineup that won by a whopping 58 points this past week... we did what we needed to do and took care of business. We should tip our cap to the GM of Norman Nobodies, take this W in stride, and continue our march towards the OklahomIraqis League NFC title.
Norman Nobodies
"Not seeing enough chances" shouldn't really be an excuse this week for Norman Nobodies. As a group, our six pass-catchers (five WR and one TE) were targeted a healthy 46 times in Week 15. With only 22 total catches, this group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
