Coach Talk

RiSeN!
Listen RiSeN!, the good news is that we took this matchup by 6.63 points. Even better news is that we've proven we're better than this... as a matter of fact, our team's scoring average through four weeks was 110. So yes, we're happy to have gotten this victory, but let's also get back up to where we know we can be!
Blade Executioner
Our quarterback threw four interceptions and just one touchdown? We may have quite a dilemma on our hands here: Was Blake Bortles actually that out-of-sync with the receivers, or were the Seahawks just that good defending the pass? What do you think, Blade Executioner, do we continue to start him with confidence?
