Coach Talk

eric's Team
You know eric's Team, the good news is that we took this matchup by 2.6 points. Even better news is that we've proven we're better than this... in fact, our team's scoring average through Week 11 stood at 97.93. So while we're happy to have gotten this victory, let's get back up to where we know we can be!
Boats and Joes
"Not getting many opportunities" really isn't an excuse this week for Boats and Joes. Our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) were targeted a healthy 37 times in Week 12. With only 18 total catches, this group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
