Coach Talk

More Cowbell Dammit
Listen More Cowbell Dammit, the good news is that we won this matchup by a staggering 34.58 points. The better news is that we've proven we're even stronger than this, as our scoring average through 11 weeks was 121.1. So while we're happy to have gotten this victory, let's get back up to where we know we can be!
The Eric Hipples
Well, we certainly can't gripe about a shortage of opportunities this week, can we? Our trio of pass-catchers (two WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 19 times in Week 12. Chemistry could be an issue, as that group pulled down only 10 receptions.
