Coach Talk

Shadynasty
Listen Shadynasty, the good news is that we won this matchup by 13 points. The better news is that we've proven we're even stronger than this... in fact, our team's scoring average through 11 weeks was 204.93. So while we're happy to have gotten this victory, let's get back up to where we know we can be!
DieNasty32
Unless DieNasty32 wants to go full diva-mode, then "not getting many opportunities" is not a valid excuse this time around. As a group, our pass-catching corps (five WR, two TE) combined to see a grand total of 45 targets in Week 12. With just 25 total catches, that group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
