Coach Talk

Bullievers
Getting the win is most important, Bullievers, but we do know of one spot where we can get better as a team. Our starting QB was thoroughly outplayed this past week. Russell Wilson went 20-of-31 for 247 yards and two touchdowns for Bucco Bruce, and all Cam Newton could manage through the air was 92 passing yards and two ugly interceptions. Let's put some more effort into scouting those upcoming defenses!
Bucco Bruce
Bucco Bruce may find it tough to gripe about lack of opportunity this past week. As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR, two TE) were targeted a grand total of 33 times in Week 12. With only 16 total receptions, that group may have some chemistry issues.
