Coach Talk

James's Official Team
Hey James's Official Team, the good news is that we won this matchup by 12.78 points. The better news is that we've proven we're even better than this... as a matter of fact, our team's scoring average through Week 14 stood at 107.98. So while we're happy to have gotten this victory, let's "regress" back up to where we know we can be!
'Duh okay
Unless 'Duh okay wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not seeing enough chances" doesn't fly as an excuse this time around. As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) collectively got a grand total of 35 targets in Week 15. Those players might need to hit the practice field, considering they recorded only 21 catches.
