Coach Talk

Gumby Nation
Props on assembling a lineup that accounted for 163.62 points this past week. We consider that to be a job well done.
TnPatsFan
Our starting QB threw four interceptions and just a single touchdown? We may have quite a dilemma on our hands here. Was Andy Dalton really that shaky in the pocket, or was the Patriots secondary just that stout against the pass?
