Coach Talk

Star City Arrows
Listen, Star City Arrows, we do respect the confidence. Deploying a player with zero points (Phillip Dorsett II), while still getting a W... that's borderline arrogant! All we ask is to please limit those flashy shenanigans to the early regular season. Can you imagine how silly we'd look if we let it happen in the playoffs?
The Ghost of Bob
Your quarterback threw one interception and literally zero touchdowns? Maybe we should go back and review the game tape: Was Jacoby Brissett really that out-of-sync with the receiving crew, or were the Chiefs just that strong defending the pass? This judgment is yours to cast, The Ghost of Bob. The Colts have a bye next week, so luckily you've got some extra time to ponder that one!
