Coach Talk

TheGoat50
Sure, we ultimately got the win, but we can't deny it, TheGoat50; our starting quarterback was severely outclassed this past week. Justin Herbert went 29-of-43 for 278 yards and three touchdowns for Poppin yo cheeks, and all Josh Allen could manage through the air was 154 passing yards. We need to put some extra effort into studying those playbooks!
Poppin yo cheeks
Listen up, Poppin yo cheeks! There really is still a boatload of football left to be played. Your upcoming opponents could glance at your record and foolishly think they have a cakewalk. Do what Daniel Carlson would do in this scenario and put your best foot forward... catch these complacent managers off-guard!
