Coach Talk

Kyler the Creator
Well, we do appreciate the confidence this past week, Kyler the Creator. Fielding a starter with negative points (the Detroit Lions defense) while still getting the W... talk about arrogance. All we ask is to please limit that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the early regular season. Try it in the postseason and we're toast.
The Tightest Ends
Keep your head held high, The Tightest Ends! Look, I've been in this business long enough to realize that every once in a while, a couple extra points can just instantly come out of nowhere... and then in some cases, like this week, they don't! In the grand scheme of things, the most important thing is that you tried.
