Coach Talk

阿咪仔
Hey, we'll definitely take the win, 阿咪仔! Having said that, if we want to ramp our performance up to the next level, then here's one area where we can improve: our wide receivers were severely overmatched this past week. Held back by a Devin Funchess goose-egg and Allen Robinson II (42 yards, no TDs), our three WRs combined for just 9.4 points in Week 14. The starting wideouts for 黑白九号半 tripled us up with a score of 29.7. We need to bug the offensive coordinator to get some more targets in Week 15!
黑白九号半
Here's a list of scenarios where it's somewhat excusable to go 0-for-2 in sports: A double-fault in tennis, a hitter's line in baseball, and a pair of Dwight Howard free throws. That's just about it. Going 0-for-2 on field goal attempts this past week? Seems like Chris Boswell might be kicking himself back into the free agent pool following this effort... especially with 黑白九号半 needing every point possible in this narrow matchup.
