Coach Talk

Dead and Burrowed
Listen, Dead and Burrowed, we do admire the confidence. Deploying a starter with zero points (the Buffalo Bills defense), while still earning a win... talk about arrogant. We just ask you to please keep that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the regular season. Try it when the playoffs roll around, and we'll be toast.
Chris's Crazy Team
We were just taking it easy so our guys could dominate in Week 8, right? The 14 starting offensive position players on Chris's Crazy Team (seven WRs, four RBs, three TEs) combined to register 993 yards and just four touchdowns in Week 7. Our opposition's skill players showed us how it's supposed to be done by logging 1,200 yards and 10 scores.
