Coach Talk

LA Rams
Hey, we admire the confidence, LA Rams. It takes a special kind of moxie to roll out, not one, but TWO players with zero points (Jayon Brown and Jonnu Smith), while still getting the W! All we ask is to please limit those flashy shenanigans to the early regular season. Try it when the playoffs roll around, and we'll be done.
Rain☔ tampa bay ☔man
Wait, our starting QB threw one interception and literally zero touchdowns? It might be wise to go back and review the game tape: Were the Rams really that stout defending the pass, or was Daniel Jones just that out-of-sync with his receivers? What do you think, Rain☔ tampa bay ☔man, do we continue to start him with confidence?
