Coach Talk

'*β„‚@$ℍ 𝕄𝕆ℕ𝔼𝕐*'
Listen '*β„‚@$ℍ 𝕄𝕆ℕ𝔼𝕐*', the good news is that we won this matchup by over 32 points. The better news is that we've proven we're even better than this... in fact, our team's scoring average through 11 weeks was 131.65. So while we're happy to have earned this victory, let's get back up to where we know we can be!
Giants Run The East
Well, we can't really gripe about a shortage of opportunities this time, can we? As a group, our three wide receivers were targeted a healthy 13 times in Week 12. Chemistry seems to be a problem, as that group tallied only seven receptions.
