Coach Talk

Felix Falcons
We wonder if the GM of Felix Falcons was feeling a bit squeamish this one? In a matchup that was ultimately decided by only 2.65 points, Evan McPherson (1-for-2 on the day) decided that going 2-for-2 on field goals just wouldn't have been exciting enough. Remember folks, every point matters!
NARA_Twins2
Your quarterback threw three interceptions and just a single touchdown? Maybe we should go back and review the game tape. Were the Steelers actually that great against the pass, or did Derek Carr seem shaky back there in the pocket?
