Coach Talk

JaxGators 8
Well, we do appreciate the confidence this past week, JaxGators 8. It takes a special kind of moxie to play a starter with negative points (the Minnesota Vikings defense) while still getting the W. All we ask is to please keep that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the regular season. Try it in the playoffs and we're toast.
Clubdicks
Generally, missing a field goal isn't any reason to worry. But come on now, talk about impeccable timing: Michael Badgley goes 2-for-3 on FGs instead of 3-for-3, and Clubdicks loses the matchup by 1.84 points. We'll let you do the math on that one.
