Coach Talk

The $elfmades
Listen The $elfmades, the good news is that we won this matchup by over 19 points. The *even better* news is that we know we're stronger than this... in fact, our team's scoring average through Week 14 stood at 113.04. So yes, we're happy to have gotten this victory, but let's also get back up to where we know we can be!
Green Bay Packers
Well, Green Bay Packers, Week 15's problem is pretty easy to diagnose. Starting Keenan Allen and Brett Maher in a tough fantasy matchup... let's use this as a learning experience and agree that it's not going to happen again.
