Coach Talk

Hangovers
Hey, it's good to be confident, Hangovers. Deploying a starter with zero points (Elijah Moore), while still earning a win... talk about arrogant! We just ask you to please keep those flashy shenanigans to the regular season. Can you imagine how silly we'd look if we let it happen in the playoffs?
The Dogs of War
Registering only a couple of targets this past week, it seems like the starting running backs for The Dogs of War should investigate why their quarterbacks are giving them the silent treatment.
