Coach Talk

Alvin &The Chipmunks
Listen Alvin &The Chipmunks, I'm a "glass half full" kind of coach. While others may harp on the fact that our scoring's declined a bit lately, I'll choose to spin this in a positive direction. Averaging 222.73 points through Week 11, our crew has definitely proven that it's even better than the 167 we needed for this past week's win!
4GetBoutTheGelgameks
Normally, missing a field goal isn't any real cause for concern. Having said that, Matt Prater went 3-for-4 on FGs instead of 4-for-4, and 4GetBoutTheGelgameks lost the matchup by 2 points. Talk about impeccable timing...
