Coach Talk

Vote George 2024
Hey, we'll definitely take the win, Vote George 2024! Having said that, if we want to ramp our performance up to the next level, then here's one area where we can improve; our QB was severely outplayed by the opposition. Our one signal-callers combined for just 15.18 points in Week 16, and the QBs for DeflatersGonaDeflate doubled us up with a score of 30.96.
DeflatersGonaDeflate
Unless DeflatersGonaDeflate wants to go full diva-mode, then "not seeing many looks" isn't really an excuse this time around. Our trio of pass-catchers (two WR and one TE) combined to get a grand total of 22 targets in Week 16. With just 13 total catches, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
