Coach Talk

WTF Niagara Falls
Listen, WTF Niagara Falls, we do certainly appreciate the confidence. Deploying not one, not two, but FOUR starters with zero points while still earning the W... that's borderline arrogant! We just ask you to please limit that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the regular season. Try it in the playoffs and we're done.
The Justice League
So, The Justice League, what'd your wideouts do to annoy their quarterbacks this week? With only 28 targets as a group this past week, our six wide receivers obviously need to get in their respective QBs' ears this week in practice.
