Coach Talk

BringThePain
Hey, we'll definitely take the win, BringThePain! Having said that, if we want to ramp our performance up to the next level, then here's one area where we can improve. Our quarterback was significantly outclassed by the opposition. Ben Roethlisberger went 27-of-47 for 314 yards and two touchdowns for Texas Cubbie, and all Matthew Stafford could manage was a 23-for-37 outing, with 220 yards and one passing TD. Let's spend some extra time this week working with our receivers!
Texas Cubbie
It's entirely possible that Texas Cubbie might be a better GM in real football than in fantasy. Seeing just 14 targets combined in Week 11, their four starting pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) apparently contributed primarily by blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
