Coach Talk

Eau Rouge Poutine Co
Hey, it's good to be confident, Eau Rouge Poutine Co. Deploying a starter with zero points (Brandin Cooks), while still earning the win... that's playing with fire. All we ask is to please limit those flashy shenanigans to the regular season. Do it in the postseason and we're finished.
Bubba Gump Shrimp Co
Unless Bubba Gump Shrimp Co wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not seeing many opportunities" is not a reasonable excuse this time around. Our pass-catching corps (two WR, one TE) collectively received a hearty 16 targets in Week 8. With just nine total receptions, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
