Coach Talk

Mack Attack
Listen, Mack Attack, we do appreciate the confidence. Playing a starter with zero points (Myles Garrett), while still earning the W... talk about arrogant. All we ask is to please keep that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the regular season. Can you imagine how silly we'd look if we let it happen in the playoffs?
Thoroughbreds
Hey, we were just resting up for Week 14, right? The seven offensive skill starters on Thoroughbreds (four WRs, two RBs, one TE) combined to record 496 yards and just two touchdowns in Week 13. Our opposition's skill players showed off how it's supposed to be done by logging 706 yards and six scores.
