Coach Talk

scott's Team
Well scott's Team, the good news is that we took this matchup by more than four points. The *even better* news is that we've proven we're stronger than this... as a matter of fact, our team's scoring average through 12 weeks was 421.12. So while we're happy to have gotten this victory, let's "regress" back up to where we know we can be!
Ga nole's Team
All kinds of action between the 20's: The eight offensive position starters on Ga nole's Team (four WRs, two RBs, two TEs) collectively gained a healthy 494 yards from scrimmage. Not one of those players, unfortunately, was able to score a touchdown in Week 13.
