Coach Talk

Tommy Sleaze
Listen Tommy Sleaze, we're glass-half-full kind of coaches. While others may harp on the fact that our scoring output has slipped recently, we'll choose to take the optimistic route. Averaging 136.46 points through Week 12, our crew has certainly proven that it's even stronger than the 121.62 we needed to win this past week!
Out for Blood
Your quarterback threw one interception and literally zero touchdowns? We may have quite a dilemma on our hands here. Was Nick Foles actually that out-of-sync with the receiving crew, or was the Buccaneers secondary just that good defending the pass? What do you think, Out for Blood... should we continue rolling with him?
