Coach Talk

AR12
Listen AR12, the good news is that we won this matchup by more than 29 points. The *even better* news is that we've proven we're better than this... in fact, our team's scoring average through 14 weeks was 102.52. So while we're happy to have gotten this victory, let's get back up to where we know we can be!
sgiugi's Team
So, sgiugi's Team, what did your pass-catchers do to get written out of their teams' game plans this week? With just 11 total targets this past week, our starting receiver crew (two WR, one TE) obviously need to get on their QBs' good sides this week in practice.
