Coach Talk

Boats and Joes
Listen Boats and Joes, the good news is that we took this matchup by more than 14 points. The *even better* news is that we know we're stronger than this, as our scoring average through Week 13 stood at 90.59. So yes, we're happy to have earned this victory, but let's also "regress" back up to where we know we can be!
The Phantom Limbs
Unless The Phantom Limbs wants to go full diva-mode, then "not seeing many chances" won't cut it as an excuse this week. As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) collectively got a respectable 35 targets in Week 14. With just 20 total receptions, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
