Coach Talk

Bruising Knights
Kudos on deploying a lineup that produced 193.67 points this past week. We consider that to be a job done right. We should maintain this momentum as we head into a tricky challenge in Week 7.
PwnStars
Here's a list of sports scenarios where it's borderline acceptable to go 0-for-2: A double-fault in tennis, a hitter's line in baseball, and the Jazz facing MJ's Bulls in the Finals. That's basically it. Going 0-for-2 on field goal attempts this past week? Sounds like Stephen Gostkowski may have just kicked himself to the waiver wire after that sort of effort.
