Coach Talk

StankWaffles
You know StankWaffles, the good news is that we won this matchup by a staggering 85 points. Even better news is that we've proven we're stronger than this... as a matter of fact, our team's scoring average through 14 weeks was 177.14. So while we're happy to have earned this victory, let's "regress" back up to where we know we can be!
Davao Death Squad
Well, we can't really complain about a lack of opportunities this time, can we? As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) were targeted a grand total of 31 times in Week 15. With just 15 total catches, that group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
