Coach Talk

aeneas1
Sure, we ultimately got the win, but we can't deny it, aeneas1; our starting wide receivers were clearly outplayed by the opposition. Josh Reynolds (21 yards from scrimmage, no TDs) logged only 6.7 points in Week 13. The starting wideouts for Flash showed us how it's supposed to be done by putting up a score of 37.9. We need to bounce back with a big statement in Week 14!
Flash
Generally, missing a field goal isn't anything to really be worried about, but talk about impeccable timing: Dan Bailey went 2-for-3 on FGs instead of 3-for-3, and Flash lost the matchup by 1.19 points. We'll let you do the math on that one.
