Coach Talk

Daddy Kirk
Nice job deploying a starting crew that won by more than 103 points this past week. We took care of business and did what we had to do.
The Expendables
Our quarterback threw two interceptions and just a single touchdown? We might need to go back and review the game tape: Were the Cardinals actually that good against the pass, or was Tom Brady just that off-rhythm with his receiving crew?
