Coach Talk

RAWDAWG
Listen RAWDAWG, the good news is that we took this matchup by 4.74 points. The *even better* news is that we know we're stronger than this... as a matter of fact, our team's scoring average through Week 14 stood at 158.56. So while we're happy to have gotten this victory, let's "regress" back up to where we know we can be!
zzirGrizz
Well, we certainly can't complain about a lack of opportunities this week, can we? Our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) collectively got a grand total of 25 targets in Week 15. Timing and chemistry appear to be issues as that group tallied just 15 receptions.
