Coach Talk

Cole's Stinky Team
We wonder if the GM of Cole's Stinky Team was feeling a bit squeamish this one? In a matchup that was ultimately decided by only 1.6 points, Evan McPherson (1-of-2 on the day) decided that going 2-for-2 on field goals would've been just a bit too boring. Remember folks, every point matters!
Bandit boyz
Our starting QB threw an interception and literally no touchdowns? It might be good to go back and review the game tape: Was Deshaun Watson really that off-rhythm with his receivers, or were the Saints just that great defending the pass?
