Coach Talk

Xheryk
Hey, we'll definitely take the win, Xheryk! Having said that, if we want to ramp our performance up to the next level, then here's one area where we can improve: our quarterback was severely outmatched this past week. Our one men under center combined for just 15.67 points in Week 15, and the QBs for Elvis doubled us up with a score of 37.43.
Elvis
Look, Elvis, I've been in this business long enough to realize that sometimes an extra point can just magically appear out of the blue... and then in some cases, like this week, it doesn't! In the grand scheme of things, the most important thing here is that you tried.
