Coach Talk

Pop's
You know what, Pop's, we do admire the confidence. Deploying not one, but TWO starters with zero points (Greg Olsen and Kerryon Johnson), while still getting the W... that's borderline cocky! All we ask is to please keep those flashy shenanigans to the early regular season. Do it when the postseason rolls around, and we'll be done.
william l's Team
Listen, william l's Team, I've been in this industry long enough to realize that sometimes points just seem to randomly show up out of nowhere. Then in some cases (*cough cough*, Week 5) they don't! Hmmm, alright... maybe asking for an extra 24 points is a bit overzealous.
