Coach Talk

BucTowN
Hey, we admire the confidence, BucTowN. Deploying a starter with zero points (Antoine Winfield Jr.), while still getting the W... that's a bit too risky for us traditionalists.
Steel Curtain 22
Wait, our starting QB tossed an interception and no touchdowns? We may need to play Monday-morning quarterback here: Were the Rams truly that stout defending the pass, or was Russell Wilson just that out-of-sync with the receiving crew?
