Coach Talk

Rips Reps & Revs
Bravo, Rips Reps & Revs. Nice work assembling a team that recorded more than 89 points in Week 16.
ItaliA
Our quarterback threw two interceptions and just a single touchdown? Maybe we need to go back and review the game tape. Was Tom Brady really that out-of-sync with his receiving crew, or was the Cardinals secondary just that stout defending the pass?
