Coach Talk

Thieves 2
Well Thieves 2, the good news is that we took this matchup by nearly 20 points. Even better news is that we've proven we're better than this... in fact, our team's scoring average through 12 weeks was 122.74. So yes, we're happy to have gotten this victory, but let's also "regress" back up to where we know we can be!
Little Naccums
Well, we certainly can't gripe about a lack of opportunities this time, can we? As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) collectively received a grand total of 17 targets in Week 13. With just 10 total catches, that group may have some chemistry issues.
