Coach Talk

Baltimore Ravens
Well, we do appreciate the confidence this past week, Baltimore Ravens. Starting a player with negative points (the San Francisco 49ers defense) while still getting the win... that's borderline arrogant. All we ask is to please limit that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the early regular season. Try it in the playoffs and we're toast.
Green Bay Packers
Wait, our starting QB threw two interceptions and literally zero touchdowns? Maybe we should go back and review the game tape: Did Philip Rivers seem rattled back there in the pocket, or was the Browns secondary just that good against the pass? What do you think, Green Bay Packers, do we continue to start him with confidence?
