Coach Talk

VERN's Team
Well VERN's Team, the good news is that we took this matchup by over 12 points. The better news is that we've proven we're even better than this... in fact, our team's scoring average through Week 14 stood at 98.1. So yes, we're happy to have gotten this victory, but let's also get back up to where we know we can be!
John's Best Team
Unless John's Best Team wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not getting enough opportunities" won't cut it as an excuse this week. As a group, our trio of pass-catchers (two WR and one TE) collectively got a grand total of 24 targets in Week 15. Those players might need to hit the practice field, considering they managed just 10 receptions.
