Coach Talk

FBOMBERS
You know FBOMBERS, the good news is that we took this matchup by 31 points. Even better news is that we've proven we're better than this... as a matter of fact, our team's scoring average through Week 14 stood at 270.82. So while we're happy to have earned this victory, let's get back up to where we know we can be!
Buddy s Bitches
There's a possibility that Buddy s Bitches might be a better talent scout in the NFL than in fantasy football. Accumulating just seven targets combined in Week 15, their three starting pass-catchers (three WR, zero TE) apparently contributed to their teams' offenses by running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
