Coach Talk

Stafford Infection
We do admire the confidence this past week, Stafford Infection. It takes real moxie to deploy a starter with zero points (Eric Kendricks), while still earning the W. All we ask is to please limit that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the regular season. Try it when the postseason rolls around, and we're done.
Doomsday
Do your best take solace in the fact that your generosity did not go unnoticed. It takes a real kindred spirit to help someone like Stafford Infection succeed this week... and when the time comes, perhaps they can do you a solid and return the favor. Keep your head up, Doomsday!
