Coach Talk

TMT
We're curious if the GM of TMT was feeling a bit squeamish this one? In a matchup that was ultimately decided by a mere 3.41 points, Brett Maher (0-of-1 on the day) thought that going 1-for-1 on field goals would've made things just a bit too boring. Remember folks, every point matters!
SKINS #2
Registering only four targets this past week, it appears that the starting running backs for SKINS #2 should work to smooth things over with their quarterbacks... and remind them to dump it off more frequently.
