Coach Talk

unstAPPAble
Well unstAPPAble, the good news is that we won this matchup by nearly 22 points. The better news is that we've proven we're even better than this... in fact, our team's scoring average through Week 8 stood at 222.36. So yes, we're happy to have earned this victory, but let's also "regress" back up to where we know we can be!
Flight Crew
Listen, Flight Crew, I've been in this business long enough to know that sometimes points can just magically appear out of nowhere. Then sometimes (like this week) they don't! You know, now that I think about it... asking for an additional 22 points may be a bit excessive.
