Coach Talk

Granny's Gang
Well Granny's Gang, the good news is that we won this matchup by over zero points. Even better news is that we've proven we're better than this, as our scoring average through 11 weeks was 141.7. So yes, we're happy to have gotten this victory, but let's also "regress" back up to where we know we can be!
Stafford Infection
Well, we can't really gripe about a shortage of opportunities this week, can we? As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) collectively saw a hearty 37 targets in Week 12. Chemistry could be an issue, as that group notched only 22 catches.
