Coach Talk

Shoey
Sure, we ultimately earned the win, but there's really no other way for us to spin this, Shoey. Our quarterback was significantly outplayed by the opposition. Our one signal-callers combined for just 13 points in Week 16, and the QBs for Windy City Beatdown doubled us up with a score of 28.86.
Windy City Beatdown
"Not getting enough looks" shouldn't really be an excuse this week for Windy City Beatdown. Our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) collectively received a healthy 39 targets in Week 16. Those players should participate in some additional timing drills with their QBs, considering they notched just 18 receptions.
