Coach Talk

Balls Deep
Hey Balls Deep, the good news is that we took this matchup by nearly 27 points. The *even better* news is that we know we're better than this, as our scoring average through 13 weeks was 102.03. So while we're happy to have gotten this victory, let's "regress" back up to where we know we can be!
Ahab Rises
"Not getting many opportunities" won't cut it as an excuse this week for Ahab Rises. Our trio of pass-catchers (two WR and one TE) collectively got a grand total of 24 targets in Week 14. With only 14 total catches, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
