Coach Talk

LarryDavidShrimp
You know LarryDavidShrimp, the good news is that we took this matchup by 26 points. The better news is that we've proven we're even better than this, as our scoring average through 14 weeks was 116.43. So while we're happy to have gotten this victory, let's get back up to where we know we can be!
bunkstraps
Well, we can't really complain about a lack of opportunities this week, can we? As a group, our trio of pass-catchers (two WR, one TE) combined to see a healthy 20 targets in Week 15. With only 12 total catches, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
