Coach Talk

Jane's Team
Well Jane's Team, the good news is that we took this matchup by more than 18 points. The *even better* news is that we know we're better than this... in fact, our team's scoring average through Week 12 stood at 118.29. So while we're happy to have gotten this victory, let's "regress" back up to where we know we can be!
Detroit Deathstars
Logging four catches on just five targets this past week, it appears that the starting running backs for Detroit Deathstars should investigate why their QBs are giving them the cold shoulder.
