Coach Talk

Sad Sacks
Well, we do appreciate the confidence this past week, Sad Sacks. It takes real guts to start not one, not two, but SIX players with zero points while still getting the win.
Compromised by cherry pickers
Wait, our starting QB threw two interceptions and literally zero touchdowns? Maybe we should go back and review the game tape. Did Ian Book appear rattled back there in the pocket, or were the Dolphins just that strong against the pass?
