Coach Talk

Patriot Killer
You know what, Patriot Killer, we do respect the confidence. Playing not one, but TWO starters with zero points (Dustin Hopkins and Isaiah McKenzie), while still getting the W... talk about arrogant. All we ask is to please keep that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the early regular season. Can you imagine how silly we'd look if we let it happen in the playoffs?
PIERMONSTERS
A single missed field goal isn't usually a reason to be upset, but talk about impeccable timing: Tyler Bass goes 1-for-2 on FGs instead of 2-for-2, and PIERMONSTERS drops the matchup by 3.05 points. We'll let you do the math on that one.
