Coach Talk

Eastside Red Raiders
Sure, we ultimately got the win, but we can't deny it, Eastside Red Raiders... our quarterback was clearly outplayed by the opposition. Ben Roethlisberger went 29-of-45 for 281 yards and two touchdowns for Falconsfan4life, and all Andrew Luck could manage through the air was 248 passing yards. Let's spend some extra time this week working with our receivers!
Falconsfan4life
Hey, it's possible that Falconsfan4life might be a better talent scout in real football than in fantasy. Accumulating only four total targets this past week, their two wide receivers apparently helped their teams' causes by blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
