Coach Talk

Koester's Bail Bonds
Hey Koester's Bail Bonds, the good news is that we won this matchup by more than 11 points. The *even better* news is that we know we're better than this, as our scoring average through 12 weeks was 96.64. So yes, we're happy to have earned this victory, but let's also get back up to where we know we can be!
Fullback Dive
Unless Fullback Dive wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not seeing many looks" doesn't fly as an excuse this time around. As a group, our four pass-catchers (two WR, two TE) were targeted a hearty 26 times in Week 13. With only 13 total catches, this group may have some chemistry issues.
