Coach Talk

TRMC
You know, this sport is all about exploiting the mismatches. Thanks to a sound display from Philip Rivers, we doubled up Bills Ball Busters at the quarterback position this past week (29 points to 14). Rivers went 26-for-38 for 313 yards, two TDs, and two INTs in a one-point triumph over the Chiefs.

You can take our word for it, Bills Ball Busters... We've been in this business for a long time now. Obstacles pop up, you suffer some defeats, your fans get a little whiny, and the local beat writers turn nit-picky with their incessant questions. All part of living that coach life. Just remember that when it comes to fantasy football, winning is the easiest way to silence all the critics out there!
