Coach Talk

Doughboys
Listen Doughboys, the good news is that we took this matchup by nearly 47 points. The better news is that we've proven we're even better than this... in fact, our team's scoring average through four weeks was 179.8. So yes, we're happy to have earned this victory, but let's also get back up to where we know we can be!
Warm Bodies
Your starting QB tossed two interceptions and no touchdowns? We may have quite a dilemma on our hands here: Was Baker Mayfield actually that off-rhythm with his receivers, or was the 49ers secondary just that stout defending the pass? What do you think? Do we continue to roll with him as the starting QB of Warm Bodies?
