Coach Talk

Ucinn's Dominators
Earning the win is most important, Ucinn's Dominators, but we've also identified one spot where we should improve as a team. Our QB was severely outplayed by the opposition. Russell Wilson went 31-of-35 for 322 yards and four touchdowns for Tripping Billies, and all Carson Wentz could manage through the air was 270 yards and two passing TDs (plus two ugly interceptions). We need to spend some extra time this week working with our receivers!
Tripping Billies
Listen, Tripping Billies, I've been in this industry long enough to realize that sometimes a couple extra points will just randomly appear out of thin air... and then in some cases, like this week, they won't! In the grand scheme of things, the most important thing here is that you tried.
