Coach Talk

Gnaperville Gnus
Hey Gnaperville Gnus, the good news is that we won this matchup by 23 points. The *even better* news is that we've proven we're better than this... in fact, our team's scoring average through 11 weeks was 83.36. So yes, we're happy to have gotten this victory, but let's also get back up to where we know we can be!
Boom in the Endzone
Unless Boom in the Endzone wants to go full diva-mode, then "not seeing many chances" won't cut it as an excuse this week. Our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) collectively saw a healthy 21 targets in Week 12. With just seven total catches, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
