Coach Talk

yee's Team
Well yee's Team, the good news is that we took this matchup by 13.52 points. Even better news is that we've proven we're better than this, as our scoring average through Week 13 stood at 94.88. So yes, we're happy to have gotten this victory, but let's also get back up to where we know we can be!
Dmitry's Team
Here's a list of scenarios where it's somewhat excusable to go 0-for-2 in sports: A hitter's line in baseball, the Jazz facing MJ's Bulls in the NBA Finals, and a double-fault in tennis. That's just about it. Going 0-for-2 on field goal attempts this past week? Seems like Wil Lutz might be kicking himself to the waiver wire following this effort.
