Coach Talk

Buffalo Bombers
Getting the win is most important, Buffalo Bombers, but we also know of one spot where we can improve as a team; our wide receivers were utterly outmatched by the opposition. Buoyed by Josh Gordon (19 total yards, no TDs) and Jarvis Landry (37 yards, no TDs), our three WRs combined for only 14.1 points in Week 15. The starting wideouts for Riverside Rams doubled us up with a score of 32. We need to bug the offensive coordinator to get some more targets in Week 16!
Riverside Rams
Do your best take comfort in the fact that your generosity this week did not go unnoticed, Riverside Rams. It takes a real kindred spirit to help someone like Buffalo Bombers succeed. Who knows, maybe they'll return the favor by selecting a couple of kickers early in next year's draft... something like that!
