Coach Talk

Tds and Beer
Mission accomplished, Tds and Beer. Deploying a team that won by more than 33 points this past matchup. Let's maintain this momentum as we move on to our next matchup in Week 2.
Eli Manning Sucks
There's a decent chance that Eli Manning Sucks might be a better talent scout in real football than in fantasy. Accumulating only 10 targets as a group in Week 1, their three starting pass-catchers (two WR, one TE) apparently contributed primarily by running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
