Coach Talk

One--Eyed--Willie
Hey, it's good to be confident, One--Eyed--Willie. It's a bold move to roll out a starter with zero points (Spencer Ware), while still getting the win. Try that type of flashy, show-off stuff next week and see what happens.
Pack Rats
Listen, I've been at it long enough to know that occasionally, free points just seem to miraculously show up out of nowhere. And then in some cases, like this week, they don't! Okay, okay... hoping for an extra 32 points may be a little excessive. Keep pushing forward, Pack Rats!
