Coach Talk

Спартанци
Listen Спартанци, the good news is that we won this matchup by 16 points. The better news is that we've proven we're even better than this... as a matter of fact, our team's scoring average through Week 14 stood at 100.14. So yes, we're happy to have earned this victory, but let's also "regress" back up to where we know we can be!
N Belgrade Straydogs
Unless N Belgrade Straydogs wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not seeing enough opportunities" isn't really an excuse this time around. As a group, our four pass-catchers (two WR, two TE) were targeted a whopping 23 times in Week 15. Those players should participate in some additional timing drills with their QBs, considering they tallied only 12 catches.
