Coach Talk

The Kaptains
Well The Kaptains, the good news is that we won this matchup by 21 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 Week 14 stood at 64.57. So yes, we're happy to have gotten this victory, but let's also get back up to where we know we can be!
GRAVE DIGGER
Yo, GRAVE DIGGER, what did your receiving crew do to irk their quarterbacks this week? Seeing only eight total targets in Week 15, our three starting pass-catchers (two WR, one TE) clearly need to get on their QBs' good sides this week in practice.
