Coach Talk

Donald Trump
Hey, we'll definitely take the win, Donald Trump! Having said that, if we want to ramp our performance up to the next level, then here's one area where we can improve... our quarterback was clearly outclassed this past week. Our one signal-callers combined for only 5.24 points in Week 15, while the QBs for Let's Go Brandon! showed us up by recording a score of 13.58.
Let's Go Brandon!
Let's Go Brandon! may find it tough to gripe about lack of opportunity this past week. Our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) combined to receive a respectable 23 targets in Week 15. With just 13 total receptions, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
