Coach Talk

Groin Strain
Hey Groin Strain, the good news is that we took this matchup by 282 points. Even better news is that we know we're stronger than this... in fact, our team's scoring average through Week 14 stood at 2,132.14. So while we're happy to have earned this victory, let's "regress" back up to where we know we can be!
Sandusky Bay H-Dogs
Well, we certainly can't complain about a lack of opportunities this week, can we? Our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) collectively received a whopping 31 targets in Week 15. With only 19 total catches, that group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
