Coach Talk

He's Gone
Hey, we admire the confidence, He's Gone. Deploying a player with zero points (Brandin Cooks), while still getting a win... talk about arrogant.
Maine Monsters
Generally, missing a field goal isn't any reason to worry. But come on now, talk about impeccable timing: Matt Prater went 0-for-1 on FGs instead of 1-for-1, and Maine Monsters dropped the matchup by 2.55 points. We'll let you do the math on that one.
