Coach Talk

SpaderxX
Mission accomplished, SpaderxX. Putting together a starting crew that earned 162.56 points this past week.
tatersalad
Our quarterback threw two interceptions and just a single touchdown? I guess we're presented with a couple of options here. Were the Cardinals truly that good defending the pass, or was Tom Brady just that out-of-sync with the receiving crew?
