Coach Talk

Headhunter2
Well Headhunter2, the good news is that we took this matchup by over 25 points. The *even better* news is that we know we're stronger than this, as our scoring average through 14 weeks was 123.48. So yes, we're happy to have gotten this victory, but let's also get back up to where we know we can be!
Cliff's Choice Team
Your quarterback tossed one interception and literally zero touchdowns? We may should have a little debate here: Was Drew Brees really that out-of-tune with his receivers, or were the Panthers just that stout defending the pass? What do you think? Do we keep rolling with him as the starting QB of Cliff's Choice Team?
