Coach Talk

patrick's Team
Listen, patrick's Team, we do certainly admire the confidence. It takes moxie to start not one, not two, but THREE players with zero points (Kerryon Johnson, Stephen Gostkowski, and T.Y. Hilton), while still earning the W. All we ask is to please limit those flashy shenanigans to the regular season. Do it when the playoffs roll around, and we're finished.
Icy mikey's Team
With literally zero passes thrown their way this past week the starting running backs for Icy mikey's Team obviously should investigate why their quarterbacks are giving them the cold shoulder.
