Coach Talk

TheRapists
Hey, we'll definitely take the win, TheRapists! Having said that, if we want to take our performance to the next level, then we have found an area to improve; our starting running backs were severely outplayed this past week. James White (-1 total yards, no TDs) and Josh Jacobs (36 yards, no TDs) combined for just 3.5 points in Week 12. Sony Michel and Nick Chubb showed us up by recording a score of 30.9. Let's put some extra effort into scouting these upcoming defenses!
Schmo and Cows
Derek Carr tossed one interception and literally no touchdowns? Thanksgiving may be upon us, but we're having a lot of trouble being grateful for that sort of display.
