Coach Talk

Texas Cubbie
Countless hours in the film room. Innovative scheming from the Offensive Coordinator. Blood, sweat, and tears in training camp and in practice. Full attention from all 11 guys in the huddle. Each and every route, every single pass, meticulously planned and flawlessly executed. The final result? A staggering 25 connections on 29 attempts: good enough for a 86% completion percentage for Ben Roethlisberger this past week. That Raiders secondary didn't stand a chance!.
NoDirtyLandry
The problem in Week 14 was pretty easy to diagnose, NoDirtyLandry. Going with Doug Baldwin in a fantasy matchup where your opponent tallied 91 points... let's all put this behind us and move on.
