Coach Talk

turn down for WATT
You know what, turn down for WATT, we do respect the confidence. It's a bold move to start a player with zero points (Demaryius Thomas), while still earning the W. All we ask is to please keep that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the regular season. Do it in the postseason and we're toast.
Ninja Bortles
Marcus Mariota tossed one interception and literally zero touchdowns? It may be that thankful time of year, but we're having a lot of trouble being grateful for that sort of performance.
