Coach Talk

PwnStars
You know what, PwnStars, we do certainly appreciate the confidence. It's a bold move to play not one, not two, but FOUR starters with zero points while still getting the win! We just ask you to please limit that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the regular season. Try it when the postseason rolls around, and we'll be finished.
Ram's Den
Yo, Ram's Den, did your wideouts talk bad about their quarterbacks or something? Seeing just nine total targets this past week, our three wide receivers obviously got on the bad side of their respective QBs.
