Coach Talk
Special K
Sure, we ultimately got the win, but there's not really any other way for us to spin this, Special K: our starting wide receivers were thoroughly outplayed by the opposition. Our receiving corps produced just 11 points in Week 15. The pass-catchers on BobTheBuilder doubled us up with a score of 25.6. We need to bounce back with a big statement in Week 16!
BobTheBuilder
Unless BobTheBuilder wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not getting many chances" doesn't fly as an excuse this time around. Our pass-catching corps (two WR and one TE) were targeted a healthy 26 times in Week 15. Chemistry could be the primary issue, as that group pulled down only 12 catches.
