Coach Talk

Barbara's Team
We do respect the confidence this past week, Barbara's Team. It's a bold move to play a starter with zero points (Dak Prescott), while still getting a W! We just ask you to please limit those flashy shenanigans to the regular season. Can you imagine how silly we'd look if we let it happen in the playoffs?
SuperbPremonitions
We just took it easy so our guys could dominate in next week, right? The seven starting offensive position players (three WRs, three RBs, one TE) on SuperbPremonitions collectively put up 408 yards and just one touchdown in Week 8. The skill players on Barbara's Team filled the statsheet by logging 622 yards and five scores.
