Coach Talk

Mr slappy
Hey, we'll definitely take the win, Mr slappy! Having said that, if we want to ramp our performance up to the next level, then here's one area where we can improve. Our QB was clearly outplayed this past week. Deshaun Watson went 22-of-28 for 294 yards and two touchdowns for Eric's Expert Team, and all Andrew Luck could manage through the air was 192 passing yards. Let's put some extra effort into scouting those upcoming defenses!
Eric's Expert Team
Unless Eric's Expert Team wants to go full diva-mode, then "not getting many looks" isn't really an excuse this week. As a group, our pass-catching corps (two WR, one TE) were targeted a grand total of 17 times in Week 15. With just 10 total receptions, this group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
