Coach Talk

Blacula's Bums
Listen Blacula's Bums, the good news is that we took this matchup by over six points. The better news is that we've proven we're even stronger than this... as a matter of fact, our team's scoring average through 12 weeks was 91.44. So yes, we're happy to have earned this victory, but let's also "regress" back up to where we know we can be!
Fighting Chichiwawas
Unless Fighting Chichiwawas wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not getting enough opportunities" won't cut it as an excuse this time around. As a group, our pass-catching corps (two WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 23 times in Week 13. Chemistry could be an issue, as that group notched only 13 catches.
