Coach Talk

WilburForce
Hey, we'll definitely take the win, WilburForce! Having said that, if we want to take our performance to the next level, then here's one area where we can improve. Our wide receivers were severely outmatched this past week. Our receiving corps produced only 5 points in Week 12. For LarryDavidShrimp, Davante Adams and Jaylen Waddle showed us how it's supposed to be done by putting up a score of 29. Let's bounce back with a big statement in Week 13!
LarryDavidShrimp
Wait, our quarterback tossed two interceptions and no touchdowns? We might need to play Monday-morning quarterback here: Were the Dolphins genuinely that good defending the pass, or did Cam Newton appear rattled back there in the pocket? You'll need to decide one way or the other, LarryDavidShrimp. The Panthers have a bye next week, so fortunately you have some extra time to think on that one!
