Coach Talk

Matthew #4
Hey, we'll definitely take the win, Matthew #4! Having said that, if we want to ramp our performance up to the next level, then we have found an area to improve: our starting quarterbacks were significantly outmatched by the opposition. Our two signal-callers combined for just 23.54 points in Week 12, while the QBs for Matt's Team doubled us up with a score of 54.98. We need to put some more effort into scouting those upcoming defenses!
Matt's Team
Matt's Team will find it tough to gripe about lack of opportunity this past week. As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) were targeted a hearty 19 times in Week 12. Those players should spend extra practice time working with their QBs, considering they reeled in only 10 balls.
