Coach Talk

Negligent Discharges
Sure, we ultimately got the win, but there's not really any other way to put it, Negligent Discharges: our quarterback was severely overmatched this past week. Our one men under center combined for only 13.7 points in Week 15, and the QBs for Warm Bodies almost tripled us up with a score of 39.7.
Warm Bodies
Unless Warm Bodies wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not getting many opportunities" doesn't fly as an excuse this time around. Our pass-catching corps (four WR and one TE) were targeted a whopping 22 times in Week 15. With only 12 total receptions, that group may have some chemistry issues.
