Coach Talk

Second half scrubs
Mission accomplished, Second half scrubs. Deploying a team that won by almost 47 points in Week 13. We should maintain this momentum as we head into our Week 14 matchup.
Red White & Blaine
Unless Red White & Blaine wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not seeing enough looks" can't be a valid excuse this time around. As a group, our trio of pass-catchers (two WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 21 times in Week 13. Chemistry and timing seem to be issues as that group reeled in only nine balls.
