Coach Talk

Blitzburgh
Well, we do appreciate the confidence this past week, Blitzburgh. Deploying a player with zero points (Alshon Jeffery), while still earning the W... talk about arrogant.
Aussig Ravens
Chin up, Aussig Ravens! You can take comfort in the fact that your kindness did not go unnoticed. It was generous of you to help someone like Blitzburgh succeed this week... and when the time comes, perhaps they'll do you a solid and return the favor.
