Coach Talk

J.D.'s Football Team
Well J.D.'s Football Team, the good news is that we won this matchup by 9.46 points. Even better news is that we know we're better than this... as a matter of fact, our team's scoring average through Week 13 stood at 102.55. So yes, we're happy to have gotten this victory, but let's also "regress" back up to where we know we can be!
TrashMan
Unless TrashMan wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not seeing many chances" won't cut it as an excuse this time around. As a group, our trio of pass-catchers (two WR, one TE) were targeted a grand total of 14 times in Week 14. Those players should spend extra practice time working with their QBs, considering they reeled in just eight receptions.
