Coach Talk

Las Vegas Raiders
Listen, Las Vegas Raiders, we do certainly appreciate the confidence. It's a bold move to deploy, not one, but TWO starters with zero points (Terry McLaurin and William Gholston), while still earning a W! All we ask is to please limit those flashy shenanigans to the regular season. Can you imagine how silly we'd look if we let it happen in the playoffs?
Seattle Seahawks
With not a single target thrown in their direction this past week the starting running backs for Seattle Seahawks clearly should smooth things over with their quarterbacks... and remind them to check down more frequently.
