Coach Talk

The Gang Green
Listen The Gang Green, I'm a glass-half-full kind of coach. While some may harp on the fact that our scoring output has slipped lately, I'll choose to take the optimistic route. Averaging 143.65 points through Week 13, our crew has shown it's more than capable of outperforming the 109.68 we needed to win this past week!
VegasPackFan's Team
"Not getting enough chances" really isn't an excuse this week for VegasPackFan's Team. As a group, our trio of pass-catchers (two WR and one TE) collectively saw a healthy 26 targets in Week 14. Chemistry and timing seem to be issues as that group hauled in just 10 balls.
