Coach Talk

Mint Chocolate Foxes
Nice work, Mint Chocolate Foxes. Kudos on deploying a starting crew that recorded 226.54 points this past matchup. We'll keep this momentum going as we move on to a tricky challenge in Week 16.
Ryan's Wondrous Team
Wait, our starting QB threw an interception and literally no touchdowns? We might need to go back and review the game tape: Was Cam Newton actually that out-of-sync with the receivers, or was the Saints secondary just that great against the pass? What do you think? Do we continue to roll with him as the starting QB of Ryan's Wondrous Team?
