Coach Talk

Ron's Eagles
Well Ron's Eagles, the good news is that we took this matchup by a staggering 41.7 points. The better news is that we've proven we're even better than this, as our scoring average through Week 14 stood at 108.08. So while we're happy to have earned this victory, let's "regress" back up to where we know we can be!
Greg's Genius Team
Well, we can't really complain about a lack of opportunities this time, can we? As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) collectively got a grand total of 21 targets in Week 15. With just 12 total receptions, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
