Coach Talk

Midway Monsters
You know Midway Monsters, the good news is that we won this matchup by 11 points. The *even better* news is that we've proven we're stronger than this... as a matter of fact, our team's scoring average through Week 12 stood at 317.29. So yes, we're happy to have earned this victory, but let's also "regress" back up to where we know we can be!
Footie McFootball Face
Well, we can't really complain about a lack of opportunities this time, can we? As a group, our pass-catching corps (four WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 36 times in Week 13. Those players might need to hit the practice field, considering they hauled in only 21 balls.
