Coach Talk

Comeback Kid
Well, we do applaud the confidence this past week, Comeback Kid. It takes real moxie to play a starter with negative points (the Minnesota Vikings defense) while still getting the W. All we ask is to please keep that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the early regular season. Try it in the postseason and we're toast.
VACHout
Keep your head held high, VACHout! Look, we've been in this business long enough to know that sometimes free points can just randomly appear out of nowhere. Then in some cases, like this week, they don't! Well, hmmm, alright... asking for an additional 30 points may be a bit overzealous.
