Coach Talk

Bignuts
Bravo on assembling a lineup that won by 15.69 points this past week. We consider that to be a job done right. Let's keep this momentum going as we move on to our next challenge in Week 16.
Steel Curtain 22
Our quarterback tossed two interceptions and no touchdowns? We might need to go back and review the game tape. Was Jared Goff really that out-of-sync with his receivers, or were the Eagles just that stout defending the pass? What do you think? Do we keep rolling with him as the starting QB of Steel Curtain 22?
