Coach Talk

Dan the Man
Well done, Dan the Man. Good job deploying a lineup that posted 144.78 points in Week 13. Let's tip our cap to the GM of The Thurmanator, take this win in stride, and continue on our way towards the NFL*HALL*OF*FAME*FANTASY* league title.
The Thurmanator
Your starting QB tossed an interception and literally no touchdowns? Maybe we need to go back and review the game tape. Were the Jaguars actually that good against the pass, or did Andrew Luck appear flustered back there in the pocket? What do you think? Do we continue to roll with him as the starting QB of The Thurmanator?
