Coach Talk

'Fin Gal
You know 'Fin Gal, we're "glass half full" kind of coaches. While others may harp on the fact that our scoring output has slipped lately, we'll choose to take the optimistic route. Averaging 151.45 points through Week 14, our crew has shown it's more than capable of outperforming the 144.35 we needed for this past week's win!
FrankieFourFingers
So, FrankieFourFingers, did your receivers talk bad about their quarterbacks or something? With only 15 total targets this past week, our four wide receivers clearly got on the bad side of their respective QBs.
