Coach Talk

Gareth
You know Gareth, I'm a "glass half full" kind of coach. While others may harp on the fact that our scoring output has decreased a bit lately, I'll choose to spin this in a positive direction. Averaging 103.14 points through Week 11, our crew has obviously proven that it's even stronger than the 88.24 we needed for this past week's win!
aeneas1
Unless aeneas1 wants to go full diva-mode, then "not getting enough looks" is definitely not an excuse this week. Our pass-catching corps (four WR, one TE) were targeted a grand total of 23 times in Week 12. With only 14 total catches, that group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
