Coach Talk

g-men
Listen g-men, we're "glass half full" kind of coaches. While some may harp on the fact that our scoring output has decreased a bit recently, we'll choose to take the high road. Averaging 187.56 points through Week 12, our crew has obviously proven that it's even better than the 139.6 we needed for this past week's win!
Thats Weird
Thats Weird will find it tough to gripe about lack of opportunities this past week. As a group, our pass-catching corps (four WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 41 times in Week 13. Chemistry could be the primary issue, as that group recorded just 25 receptions.
