Coach Talk

sull's Swag Team
Well sull's Swag Team, the good news is that we took this matchup by more than 36 points. The better news is that we've proven we're even better than this... in fact, our team's scoring average through Week 14 stood at 102.88. So yes, we're happy to have earned this victory, but let's also "regress" back up to where we know we can be!
Shane's Swag Team
Unless Shane's Swag Team wants to go full diva-mode, then "not seeing many opportunities" can't be a reasonable excuse this time around. Our trio of pass-catchers (two WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 15 times in Week 15. Those players should try to get some extra practice reps in with their QBs, considering they hauled in only six receptions.
