Coach Talk

Seahawks in 2020
You know what, Seahawks in 2020, we do certainly respect the confidence. Starting a player with zero points (Julio Jones), while still getting the win... that's borderline arrogant.
Valley Vikings
Hey, Valley Vikings, what did your receiving crew do to annoy their quarterbacks this week? Accumulating just 13 targets combined in Week 14, our four wide receivers clearly got on their respective QBs' bad sides.
