Coach Talk

Dope Gurlz
Well, we do appreciate the confidence this past week, Dope Gurlz. It's a bold move to deploy not one, not two, but FIVE starters with zero points while still earning the win. Try that type of flashy, show-off stuff next week against Sky Captain and see what happens!
Chanton's Team
"Not seeing enough chances" won't fly as an excuse this week for Chanton's Team. As a group, our eight pass-catchers (six WR and two TE) were targeted a healthy 46 times in Week 12. With just 27 total receptions, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
