Coach Talk

┌∩┐(◣_◢)┌∩┐
Hey ┌∩┐(◣_◢)┌∩┐, the good news is that we won this matchup by over 32 points. The better news is that we've proven we're even stronger than this... as a matter of fact, our team's scoring average through 11 weeks was 102.95. So yes, we're happy to have earned this victory, but let's also get back up to where we know we can be!
STANKY
"Not seeing enough looks" shouldn't really be an excuse this week for STANKY. As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 33 times in Week 12. Those players should participate in some additional timing drills with their QBs, considering they hauled in just 19 balls.
