Coach Talk

Victorious Secret
Getting the win is most important, Victorious Secret, but we certainly know of one spot where we can improve as a team. Our starting QB was utterly outclassed by the opposition. Our one signal-callers combined for just 11.94 points in Week 14, while the QBs for El Jefe doubled us up with a score of 29.64. Let's work overtime to get on the same page with our receivers this week!
El Jefe
Unless El Jefe wants to go full diva-mode, then "not getting enough looks" doesn't fly as an excuse this week. Our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) were targeted a respectable 23 times in Week 14. With only 11 total catches, this group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
