Coach Talk

WannaBes
You know WannaBes, I'm a "glass half full" kind of coach. While some may harp on the fact that our scoring's declined a bit lately, I'll choose to take the high road. Averaging 103.16 points through Week 13, our crew has obviously proven that it's even better than the 76.62 we needed to win this past week!
Sunnydale Scoobies
"Not seeing many chances" isn't a reasonable excuse this week for Sunnydale Scoobies. Our pass-catching corps (two WR, one TE) were targeted a hearty 17 times in Week 14. Chemistry seems to be an issue, as that group tallied only nine receptions.
