Coach Talk

Bloody Sabbath
Hey, we admire the confidence, Bloody Sabbath. Deploying a starter with zero points (Hunter Henry), while still getting the win... that's borderline arrogant. All we ask is to please limit that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the regular season. Try it when the playoffs roll around, and we'll be toast.
Heathen
Hey, Heathen, what did your receiving crew do to annoy their quarterbacks this week? Seeing only 16 targets combined this past week, our four starting pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) clearly got on the bad side of their respective QBs.
