Coach Talk

Philly Phresh
Earning the win is most important, Philly Phresh, but we've also identified one spot where we should improve as a team. Our wide receivers were utterly outmatched this past week. Our receiving corps produced only 6 points in Week 12. The pass-catchers on Can I Haz Touchdown? doubled us up with a score of 14. We need to bounce back with a big statement in Week 13!
Can I Haz Touchdown?
Welp, we can't really complain about a lack of opportunities this week, can we? As a group, our two wide receivers were targeted a whopping 18 times in Week 12. Those players should participate in some additional timing drills with their QBs, considering they pulled down just 11 balls.
