Coach Talk

Tds and Beer
Listen Tds and Beer, we're "glass half full" kind of coaches. While others may harp on the fact that our scoring's slipped lately, we'll choose to take the optimistic route. Averaging 116.78 points through Week 4, our crew has shown it's more than capable of outproducing the 100.72 we needed to win this past week!
Wildebeasts
Your starting QB tossed one interception and not a single touchdown? Maybe we need to go back and review the game tape: Did Alex Smith appear rattled back there in the pocket, or were the Jaguars just that strong defending the pass? What do you think? Do we keep rolling with him as the starting QB of Wildebeasts?
