Coach Talk

GuiceColdStranglers!
Sure, we ultimately earned the win, but there's really no other way for us to spin this, GuiceColdStranglers!: our QB was clearly outmatched this past week. Our one guys under center combined for just 11.94 points in Week 14, and the QBs for LET'S GO BRAYDEN showed us up by recording a score of 30.9. We need to bounce back with a big statement in Week 15!
LET'S GO BRAYDEN
Well, we certainly can't complain about a lack of opportunities this time, can we? Our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) were targeted a hearty 34 times in Week 14. Chemistry appears to be the primary problem, as that group hauled in only 18 receptions.
