Coach Talk

The Pink Flamingos
Getting the win is most important, The Pink Flamingos, but we do know of one spot where we can improve as a team. Our quarterback was utterly outplayed by the opposition. Drew Brees went 24-of-31 for 201 yards and one touchdowns for The Wrecking Crew, and all Russell Wilson could manage was a 10-for-20 outing for 72 passing yards. We need to put some more effort into studying those playbooks!
The Wrecking Crew
Fortunately, The Wrecking Crew, Week 14's problem is fairly easy to diagnose. Choosing to start Justin Evans in a fantasy matchup where your opponent tallied 103.58 points... we'll use this as a learning experience and all agree that it won't happen again?
