Coach Talk

aeneas1
Listen, aeneas1, we do certainly appreciate the confidence. Deploying a player with zero points (Phillip Dorsett II), while still earning the W... that's a bit too risky for us traditionalists. Try those shenanigans next week against Rams the Legends and we're sure to be toast.
Flash
Wait, our quarterback threw an interception and not a single touchdown? Maybe we should go back and review the game tape: Were the Ravens really that stout defending the pass, or was Andy Dalton just that out-of-sync with the receiving crew? This judgment is yours to make, Flash, as you set your lineup in Week 7 and beyond!
