Coach Talk

Raising Cardinals
You know Raising Cardinals, I'm a "glass half full" kind of coach. While others may harp on the fact that our scoring output has declined a bit lately, I'll choose to take the optimistic route. Averaging 127.62 points through Week 9, our crew has shown it's more than capable of outperforming the 106.6 we needed to win this past week!
Zelinsky Fresno
Your starting QB tossed two interceptions and literally no touchdowns? It might be wise to go back and review the game tape. Was Russell Wilson actually that shaky in the pocket, or were the Packers just that good defending the pass? You'll need to decide one way or the other, Zelinsky Fresno, as you set your lineup for Week 11 and beyond!
