Coach Talk

Neighbors Club
Hey, it's good to be confident, Neighbors Club. Starting not one, not two, but THREE players with zero points (Courtland Sutton, Cody Davis, and Kenny Golladay), while still getting the W... talk about arrogant! We just ask you to please keep that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the early regular season. Do it in the postseason and we're toast.
Buffalo Soldiers
Just one make on four field goal attempts? Seems like Stephen Gostkowski may have just kicked himself back into the free agent pool after that sort of effort.
