Coach Talk

LEGION OF BOOM
You know what, LEGION OF BOOM, we do certainly appreciate the confidence. Rolling out not one, not two, but FOUR players with zero points while still earning the win... that's playing with fire. Try that type of flashy, show-off stuff next week against WTF Niagara Falls and we'll be toast!
Sad Sacks
So, Sad Sacks, what'd your receivers do to tick off their quarterbacks this week? With only six targets as a group in Week 12, our five wide receivers obviously need to get in their respective QBs' ears this week in practice.
