Coach Talk

Channel 4 News Team
Sure, we ultimately earned the win, but we can't deny it, Channel 4 News Team. Our quarterback was clearly outmatched by the opposition. Our one guys under center combined for only 7.7 points in Week 15, while the QBs for Bubba and the Coyote showed us up by recording a score of 37.02.
Bubba and the Coyote
Unless Bubba and the Coyote wants to go full diva-mode, then "not getting many opportunities" is definitely not an excuse this time around. Our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) were targeted a respectable 26 times in Week 15. Chemistry seems to be an issue, as that group reeled in only 14 receptions.
