Coach Talk

GX s99 NE Pats 20 25
Hey, we admire the confidence, GX s99 NE Pats 20 25. Deploying a player with zero points (Jordan Fuller), while still earning the win... that's a bit too risky for us traditionalists. Try that type of flashy, show-off stuff next week against Baltimore Ravens and we'll be toast.
LA Rams
With just a couple of receptions this past week, the starting running backs for LA Rams should work to smooth things over with their QBs... and remind them to check down more frequently.
