Coach Talk

Rain☔ tampa bay ☔man
Listen, Rain☔ tampa bay ☔man, we applaud you on the confidence. Fielding a starter with negative points (plus multiple zero-point players) while still getting the W... that's a bit too risky for us traditionalists. All we ask is to please keep that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the regular season. Try it in the playoffs and we're toast.
Washington Redskins
So, Washington Redskins, did your receivers drop too many balls in practice or something? With just eight total targets this past week, our three wide receivers clearly got on their respective QBs' bad sides.
