Coach Talk

Indianapolis Colts
You know what, Indianapolis Colts, we do certainly appreciate the confidence. It takes a special sort of moxie to deploy, not one, but TWO starters with zero points (Josh Sweat and Richie Grant), while still earning the win! All we ask is to please limit that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the early regular season. Can you imagine how silly we'd look if we let it happen in the playoffs?
Seattle Seahawks
Unless Seattle Seahawks wants to go full diva-mode, then "not getting many looks" is definitely not a valid excuse this time around. As a group, our seven pass-catchers (four WR and three TE) collectively received a grand total of 31 targets in Week 2. Chemistry could be a problem, as that group reeled in just 15 balls.
