Coach Talk

Injured Reserve
Listen Injured Reserve, we're "glass half full" kind of coaches. While others may harp on the fact that our scoring output has declined a bit lately, we'll choose to take the optimistic route. Averaging 121.5 points through Week 12, our crew has shown it's more than capable of outperforming the 110.45 we needed to win this past week!
THE BIG DOGS
THE BIG DOGS will find it tough to complain about lack of opportunities this past week. As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 29 times in Week 13. With only 11 total receptions, this group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
