Coach Talk

The EMT’s
Hey The EMT’s, the good news is that we took this matchup by over 48 points. Even better news is that we know we're stronger than this, as our scoring average through Week 14 stood at 107.36. So while we're happy to have gotten this victory, let's "regress" back up to where we know we can be!
Feelin Thielen
There's a decent chance that Feelin Thielen could be a better GM in real football than in fantasy. With just two total targets in Week 15, their two wide receivers apparently did a superb job blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
