Coach Talk

Washington Football Team
Well, we do applaud the confidence this past week, Washington Football Team. It takes true moxie to start a player with negative points (Mike Davis) while still getting the win. All we ask is to please keep that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the early regular season. Try it in the playoffs and we're toast.
Las Vegas Raiders
Our starting QB threw three interceptions and only two touchdowns? It might be good to go back and review the game tape: Were the Chargers truly that stout against the pass, or was Derek Carr just that out-of-sync with his receiving crew? What do you think? Do we keep rolling with him as the starting QB of Las Vegas Raiders?
