Coach Talk

IncubatingEagles
Listen IncubatingEagles, the good news is that we took this matchup by 23.5 points. The better news is that we've proven we're even better than this, as our scoring average through Week 5 stood at 103.65.

Very inTimidating
The good news is that there's still a ton of time left to turn this season around. These upcoming opponents may take a peek at your win-loss record and foolishly think they've got a cakewalk. Lull them into a sense of complacency and hit 'em with your strongest possible lineups... they won't see it coming! Keep pushing forward, Very inTimidating!
