Coach Talk

Shake and Baker
Hey, we do appreciate the confidence this past week, Shake and Baker. It takes guts to deploy, not one, but TWO starters with zero points (Josh Jacobs and Le'Veon Bell), while still earning the W! We just ask you to please keep that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the regular season. Try it in the postseason and we'll be done.
Disnerds
Your starting QB tossed two interceptions and just a single touchdown? Maybe we should go back and review the game tape. Was Deshaun Watson really that inaccurate from the pocket, or were the Broncos just that strong defending the pass?
