Coach Talk

Ptičice
You know what, Ptičice, we do appreciate the confidence. It takes a certain kind of moxie to roll out, not one, but TWO players with zero points (Doug Baldwin and Austin Seferian-Jenkins), while still getting the win. We just ask you to please limit that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the early regular season. Can you imagine how silly we'd look if we let it happen in the playoffs?
Simini Petlici
Just one field goal on five attempts? Seems like Mason Crosby might be kicking himself to the waiver wire following this effort.
