Coach Talk

Phantoms
Listen, Phantoms, we do appreciate the confidence. Deploying not one, but TWO starters with zero points (Teddy Bridgewater and Jameis Winston), while still getting the W... that's playing with fire! All we ask is to please keep those flashy shenanigans to the regular season. Can you imagine how silly we'd look if we let it happen in the playoffs?
Underachievers
Jake Luton tossed four interceptions and literally zero touchdowns? Thanksgiving may be upon us, but we're having a lot of trouble being grateful for that sort of performance.
