Coach Talk

My Team
Nice job, My Team. Props on fielding a starting crew that blew the opponent out by more than 34 points in Week 15. We'll keep this momentum going as we roll into our next matchup in Week 16.
Let's go
Keep your head up, Let's go! Listen, we've been at it long enough to realize that every once in a while, free points just seem to miraculously show up out of nowhere. And then in some cases, like this week, they don't! Okay, okay; hoping for an additional 35 points may be a bit excessive.
