Coach Talk

Dangles
Deploying a lineup that won by a whopping 35.54 points this past week... we deem that to be a job done right.
timmy's Optimal Team
Wait, our quarterback threw two interceptions and just a single touchdown? Maybe we should go back and review the game tape. Were the Jaguars actually that good against the pass, or was Matt Ryan just that sloppy from the pocket?
