Coach Talk

Reaper
Hey, we admire the confidence, Reaper. It takes real guts to play a starter with zero points (Marquise Goodwin), while still earning the W! All we ask is to please keep those flashy shenanigans to the regular season. Can you imagine how silly we'd look if we let it happen in the playoffs?
BTR's Dazzling Team
Your starting QB tossed two interceptions and literally zero touchdowns? We might need to play Monday-morning quarterback here. Was Malik Willis really that out-of-sync with his receivers, or was the Texans secondary just that stout defending the pass?
