Coach Talk

Jars Raiduhs
Listen Jars Raiduhs, I'm a glass-half-full kind of coach. While others may harp on the fact that our scoring's slipped lately, I'll choose to spin this in a positive direction. Averaging 146.63 points through Week 13, our crew has shown it's more than capable of outproducing the 123.37 we needed to win this past week!
Big Blue
Welp, we certainly can't gripe about a shortage of opportunities this time, can we? Our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) collectively got a grand total of 21 targets in Week 14. Chemistry could be the primary problem, as that group tallied only 12 receptions.
