Coach Talk

Believeland
Hey, we'll definitely take the win, Believeland! Having said that, if we want to take our performance to the next level, then we have found an area to improve: our QB was clearly outclassed by the opposition. Our one signal-callers combined for just 10.87 points in Week 15, and the QBs for Stator Hater doubled us up with a score of 22.03.
Stator Hater
Unless Stator Hater wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not seeing enough chances" won't cut it as an excuse this week. As a group, our trio of pass-catchers (two WR, one TE) combined to get a healthy 19 targets in Week 15. Those players should spend extra practice time working with their QBs, considering they pulled down just six receptions.
