Coach Talk

Waimanalo Ali'i
Sure, we ultimately got the win, but there's not really any other way for us to spin this, Waimanalo Ali'i. Our quarterback was significantly outmatched this past week. Our one guys under center combined for only 9.46 points in Week 15, and the QBs for LawlerBrawlers doubled us up with a score of 21.8.
LawlerBrawlers
Unless LawlerBrawlers wants to go full diva-mode, then "not getting many looks" is definitely not a reasonable excuse this time around. As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) collectively got a grand total of 28 targets in Week 15. Chemistry seems to be an issue, as that group notched just nine catches.
