Coach Talk

Funky Town
Hey, we'll definitely take the win, Funky Town! Having said that, if we want to take our performance to the next level, then here's one area where we can improve; our running backs were soundly outmatched by the opposition. Melvin Gordon III (31 yards from scrimmage, no TDs) logged just 9.8 points in Week 12. Mike Davis and Ronald Jones II showed us how it's supposed to be done by putting up a score of 24.7. Let's bounce back with a big statement in Week 13!
SilaZbica
Your starting QB threw an interception and not a single touchdown? It might be wise to go back and review the game tape. Was Derek Carr really that out-of-sync with the receivers, or was the Falcons secondary just that good defending the pass? The judgment is yours to make, SilaZbica, as you manage your lineup for Week 13 and beyond!
