Coach Talk

Naked Canadians
You know what, Naked Canadians, we do certainly admire the confidence. Starting a player with zero points (Mike Williams), while still earning a W... that's a bit too risky for us traditionalists! We just ask you to please keep that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the regular season. Can you imagine how silly we'd look if we let it happen in the playoffs?
Fighting Chichiwawas
Your starting QB tossed two interceptions and literally no touchdowns? We may have quite a dilemma on our hands here: Did Ryan Fitzpatrick appear flustered back there in the pocket, or was the Redskins secondary just that stout defending the pass? What do you think, Fighting Chichiwawas, do we continue to start him with confidence?
