Coach Talk

Bad JuJu
Hey, we'll definitely take the win, Bad JuJu! Having said that, if we want to ramp our performance up to the next level, then we have found an area to improve: our quarterback was thoroughly outclassed by the opposition. Our one signal-callers combined for just 7.7 points in Week 15, and the QBs for Blunts and Forte's literally quadrupled us with a score of 34.14.
Blunts and Forte's
"Not seeing enough chances" won't fly as an excuse this week for Blunts and Forte's. Our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) collectively got a grand total of 34 targets in Week 15. Chemistry and timing seem to be issues as that group hauled in only 20 receptions.
