Coach Talk

Let's go
Well, we do appreciate the confidence this past week, Let's go. It takes a special kind of gumption to play a starter with negative points (the New York Jets defense) while still getting the W. All we ask is to please limit that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the regular season. Try it in the postseason and we're toast.
SF Niners
The problem this week isn't exactly rocket science, SF Niners. Starting the Seattle Seahawks defense in a fantasy matchup where your opponent tallied more than 162 points... let's try to play with a full deck of cards next time?
