Coach Talk

The Transformers *Commissioner
You know The Transformers *Commissioner, I'm a "glass half full" kind of coach. While others may harp on the fact that our scoring's slipped recently, I'll choose to take the high road. Averaging 7,711.46 points through Week 13, our crew has obviously proven that it's even better than the 6,437 we needed to win this past week!
28 Days Taylor
Your starting QB tossed an interception and literally no touchdowns? We may have quite a dilemma on our hands here. Were the Cowboys actually that great against the pass, or did Davis Mills appear rattled back there in the pocket? What do you think, 28 Days Taylor... should we continue rolling with him?
