Coach Talk

Winged Helmets 5
Hey, we admire the confidence, Winged Helmets 5. Starting not one, not two, but FOUR players with zero points while still earning a win... talk about arrogant! All we ask is to please limit those flashy shenanigans to the regular season. Do it when the postseason rolls around, and we'll be done.
The Madcows
Wait, our starting QB threw one interception and no touchdowns? We might need to play Monday-morning quarterback here. Did David Blough appear flustered back there in the pocket, or was the Packers secondary just that strong defending the pass?
