Coach Talk

Wizardos Tiburones
Hey, we'll definitely take the win, Wizardos Tiburones! 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 starting running backs were thoroughly outmatched this past week. J.D. McKissic (27 total yards, no TDs) logged only 11.5 points in Week 12, while the starting backfield for Hrustin Cowboys showed us up by recording a score of 31.3. Let's sweet-talk the offensive coordinator to get some more touches in Week 13!
Hrustin Cowboys
Sorry Hrustin Cowboys, but this tight defeat can be attributed more to the Bills coaching staff than anything else. The weekly game script called for the QB to throw only 24 passes, and Josh Allen did what he could... finding his target on a whopping 75% of them!
