Coach Talk

AA Ron Balakay
We wonder if the GM of AA Ron Balakay was sweating bullets in this one? In a matchup that was ultimately decided by only 2.76 points, Randy Bullock (0-of-1 on the day) decided that going 1-for-1 on field goals just wouldn't have been exciting enough. Remember folks, every point matters!
BaLLCHiNiaNzzz
BaLLCHiNiaNzzz will find it tough to complain about lack of opportunity this past week. Our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) were targeted a respectable 36 times in Week 12. Timing and chemistry appear to be issues as that group recorded just 20 catches.
