Coach Talk

Poxle Team
Listen Poxle Team, I'm a "glass half full" kind of coach. While others may harp on the fact that our scoring output has slipped recently, I'll choose to take the high road. Averaging 104.2 points through Week 13, our crew has obviously proven that it's even better than the 68.7 we needed for this past week's win!
r18xxl
Sorry r18xxl, but the blame for this close loss can be placed more heavily on the Titans coaches than anything else. The gameplan resulted in the QB attempting only 24 passes against the Jaguars. Marcus Mariota did all he could, connecting with the target on a superb 75% of them!
