Coach Talk

Rascals
Listen Rascals, the good news is that we won this matchup by nearly 16 points. The *even better* news is that we've proven we're better than this... in fact, our team's scoring average through 14 weeks was 110.15. So while we're happy to have earned this victory, let's "regress" back up to where we know we can be!
David's Team
Unless David's Team wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not seeing enough looks" doesn't fly as an excuse this time around. Our trio of pass-catchers (two WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 18 times in Week 15. With just 10 total catches, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
