Coach Talk

Pain and Suffering
Sure, we ultimately got the win, but there's really no way sugarcoat it, Pain and Suffering; our starting quarterback was significantly outplayed by the opposition. Our one guys under center combined for just 10.79 points in Week 13, while the QBs for FEAR THE NECKBEARD literally quadrupled us with a score of 46.22. We need to bounce back with a big statement in Week 14!
FEAR THE NECKBEARD
FEAR THE NECKBEARD will find it tough to complain about lack of opportunity this past week. As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) combined to get a respectable 20 targets in Week 13. With only 10 total catches, this group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
