Coach Talk

Gronkey Kong
Well Gronkey Kong, the good news is that we took this matchup by more than 16 points. The *even better* news is that we've proven we're stronger than this... in fact, our team's scoring average through nine weeks was 106.4. So yes, we're happy to have earned this victory, but let's also get back up to where we know we can be!
wilfork on 1st date
Well, we can't really gripe about a shortage of opportunities this time, can we? As a group, our five pass-catchers (four WR, one TE) collectively saw a grand total of 26 targets in Week 10. With only 16 total receptions, this group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
