Coach Talk

Chris's Crazy Team
Hey Chris's Crazy Team, the good news is that we won this matchup by almost 25 points. The better news is that we've proven we're even better than this, as our scoring average through 13 weeks was 407.42. So while we're happy to have gotten this victory, let's "regress" back up to where we know we can be!
Tom's Groovy Team
Wait, our quarterback threw two interceptions and just a single touchdown? We may need to have a little debate here. Was Tom Brady really that sloppy from the pocket, or were the 49ers just that strong defending the pass? What do you think, Tom's Groovy Team... do we continue to deploy him with confidence?
