Coach Talk

Crash Eagles Crash!!
Nice job assembling a lineup that won by 35 points this past week. We took care of business and did what had to be done.
Bengal In A Tree
Look, Bengal In A Tree, we've been in this business long enough to realize that sometimes points just seem to randomly appear out of nowhere. Then sometimes, like in your matchup this week, they don't! Okay, okay... hoping for an extra 36 points may be a little excessive.
