Coach Talk

Brewmasters
Well Brewmasters, the good news is that we won this matchup by nearly 22 points. The better news is that we've proven we're even stronger than this... as a matter of fact, our team's scoring average through nine weeks was 140.27. So while we're happy to have gotten this victory, let's get back up to where we know we can be!
War Pony
Unless War Pony wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not seeing enough opportunities" is not an excuse this time around. Our pass-catching corps (four WR, two TE) collectively received a whopping 27 targets in Week 10. Those players should participate in some additional timing drills with their QBs, considering they tallied just 16 receptions.
