Coach Talk

Darren's Team
Earning the win is most important, Darren's Team, but we've also identified one spot where we should get better as a team. Our running backs were significantly outmatched this past week. Our backfield produced just 8.3 points in Week 12, and the starting backfield for Skull and Bolts nearly tripled us up with a score of 23.2. Let's bounce back with a big statement in Week 13!
Skull and Bolts
A single missed field goal normally isn't cause for concern. Having said that, Zane Gonzalez went 1-for-2 on FGs instead of 2-for-2, and Skull and Bolts lost the matchup by 1.3 points. Talk about impeccable timing...
