Coach Talk

Onid
Well Onid, the good news is that we took this matchup by 10.46 points. Even better news is that we know we're better than this, as our scoring average through Week 14 stood at 84.01. So while we're happy to have earned this victory, let's "regress" back up to where we know we can be!
sharpzyg
"Not getting enough opportunities" is definitely not a valid excuse this week for sharpzyg. As a group, our pass-catching corps (two WR and one TE) combined to see a grand total of 25 targets in Week 15. With just 11 total catches, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
