Coach Talk

New World Order
Hey New World Order, the good news is that we won this matchup by over two points. The *even better* news is that we've proven we're stronger than this, as our scoring average through Week 8 stood at 188.93. So yes, we're happy to have gotten this victory, but let's also get back up to where we know we can be!
Wentzamania
Don't get too distraught, Wentzamania! Listen, we've been in this business long enough to know that sometimes three extra points can just suddenly come out of nowhere... and then in some cases, like this week, they don't! Keep pushing forward and good things will eventually happen.
