Coach Talk

Towns
Listen Towns, the good news is that we won this matchup by more than 17 points. Even better news is that we've proven we're better than this, as our scoring average through Week 14 stood at 99.2. So yes, we're happy to have gotten this victory, but let's also "regress" back up to where we know we can be!
lovemushi's Team
Unless lovemushi's Team wants to go full diva-mode, then "not getting enough looks" doesn't fly as an excuse this week. As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) collectively got a grand total of 21 targets in Week 15. Chemistry could be the primary problem, as that group managed just 12 receptions.
