Coach Talk

ATLiens Returns
Hey, we'll definitely take the win, ATLiens Returns! Having said that, if we want to take our performance to the next level, then we have found an area to improve. Our QB was thoroughly outplayed this past week. Philip Rivers went 26-of-36 for 299 yards and two touchdowns for Texasseans, and all Matt Ryan could manage through the air was 131 yards and one passing TD. Let's spend some extra time this week working with our receivers!
Texasseans
The problem in Week 13 isn't exactly rocket science, Texasseans. Going with Trey Burton in what turned out to be a tight fantasy matchup... let's aim to play with a full deck of cards next time.
