Coach Talk

Gravity Falls Dragon
Listen, Gravity Falls Dragon, we do certainly appreciate the confidence. It's a bold move to roll out a starter with zero points (Dante Pettis), while still getting the win. All we ask is to please limit those flashy shenanigans to the regular season. Try it in the playoffs and we'll be toast.
STL VIZZED
Well, we certainly can't complain about a lack of opportunities this week, can we? Our pass-catching corps (two WR, two TE) were targeted a whopping 21 times in Week 14. Chemistry and timing appear to be issues as that group managed just 12 receptions.
