Coach Talk

Pounders
Listen Pounders, the good news is that we won this matchup by 73.47 points. The better news is that we've proven we're even better than this... as a matter of fact, our team's scoring average through 11 weeks was 453.19. So while we're happy to have earned this victory, let's get back up to where we know we can be!
Dogs
Well, we certainly can't complain about a lack of opportunities this time, can we? Our pass-catching corps (four WR, one TE) were targeted a grand total of 23 times in Week 12. With only 14 total receptions, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
