Coach Talk

PENOKA HAWKS
Well, we do appreciate the confidence this past week, PENOKA HAWKS. Playing a starter with negative points (the New England Patriots defense) while still earning the W... talk about arrogance.
Saultcrew
Just one field goal on three attempts? Sounds like Matt Prater may have just toe-bashed himself to the waiver wire after that sort of effort.
