Coach Talk

Idiot Farm
Hey, it's good to be confident, Idiot Farm. It takes real moxie to start a player with zero points (Mike Davis), while still getting the win. It's a saucy way to put a stamp on the season and the fantasy gods were kind to you this week.
GridIron Maiden
Just three field goals on six attempts? Sounds like Brandon McManus should reevaluate his pre-kick process following that sort of effort.
